Hey guys, I've been asking a lot through threads, so I hope this is okay and hopefully it helps me finally draw a conclusion. The main source of confusion would be that I've never tried Beyers so I don't know if the treble could pose a problem for me I guess. I only have a pair of X1s.
I've been trying to decide between HD650, DT990 or T90 but I'm worried I can't give them the right amp with a limited budget. I thought I'd skip the DAC for now until I can save more money for a good one (been told I need at least 400$ to make it worth it). I would like to mention it's impossible to get gear from the U.S. as duty tax can make me pay almost half of their value, which is why I have to exclude the popular Bottlehead Crack. I've also been looking for a used V200 as I've heard it can smooth out sound a lot when needed, but a new one would be way too expensive in EU. Haven't found any yet.
Do you think Lyr 2 or LD MK3 would be able to smooth out pairs like T90s, which a lot of people claim to get too hot in the highs ? Would definitely appreciate some feedback from anyone who owns any of them or the whole combo. I could also count some Herleen tubes in for the Lyr 2 (I've heard they're warm and they seem really affordable on ebay UK).
Any criticism/feedback is welcome as long it's well-mannered ! Thank you !
