Hello everyone! I'm newbie on here...
 
I'm looking for my very first headphone for listening music (around ~$100) and an entry level  USB amp/dac which sounds good with the headphone.
 
I have some infos about ATH-M30x and Takstar Pro 80 + Fiio E10K so far. Should I pick the Takstar Pro 80 over the M30x?
My music sources are iTunes, Youtube and sometimes Spotify. My fav genres are country-pop, R'n'B and Hip-hop.
 
 
Thanks
