1000+ Head-Fier
Hi all, first time in this thread, and I need some feedbacks regarding on which DAC I truly want to buy next.
I just learned of the existence of MHDT labs DAC, the question is, is it worth it to get the SE pagoda + eitr compared to buying a Gumby with gen5 usb?
The headphone will be Focal Utopia, and the amp is Cavalli Liquid Carbon but I'm planning to upgrade the amp at one point.
I know that if going for pure performance I may need to get something like the Yggy, however my genre of preference is mainly Metal, so I'm scared that the combination of Yggy and Utopia will be too revealing and kill the recording exposing all the bad stuffs in it.
My sound preference is a forward powerful and dynamic one with lots of speed that is distinct and clear but does not sound thin in a reasonable amount of space with just a touch of warm to sooth my soul a bit.
I can audition the Gumby but not the pagoda, which is one of the difficulties to make the decision. Thx
