Puzzle me more and more, I have seen only good things about iDSD Black Label
Click to expand...

iDSD Black Label is pretty much like the end of the DAC/AMP journey for most of us - incredible everything and more

My in-depth review/analysis of iDSD Black Label should explain more about it - basically iDSD BL is pretty much one of the best things you can get and should last you a long long while, since it drives everything, from IEMs to full headphones with excellency.

I didn't find it the best pairing with the Meze 99C.

A great DAC, no doubt. Just a little peaky for some headphones.

The two of us will never agree on some things :darthsmile:

How could iDSD BL be peaky with anything is something I don't fully understand, I always wish my sources were brighter and more energetic up top.

I bump the 16 kHz region with 8 - 14 dB for 99C - I have a feeling that we are looking for different signatures in general though.

As always, there is no right or wrong - just different tastes!

I do keep my position though, iDSD BL still is the thing I recommend the most in its price range, and even above. It is pretty much the high end DAC/AMP that I fully recommend.

Indeed. You and me do look for very different things from our gear. Yet we both love the 99C. :D

This combo sounds quite awesome!

This, and I like how the picture looks like!

Oh, I see! I'm not sure how to help you out in this situation - Meze 99C has its own unique sound, really hard to find a closed back headphone with a similarly good sound, especially in this price point...

Perhaps the B&O H6 would be a better choice. They sound very nice and although the bass is good it is not as much as the Meze. Or the Sennheiser 598 CS

Oh That is a good idea...I have those...also known as BossHiFi B8 but Kinden package includes a decent case. Now I need to get them out and listen again! I have too many headphones!

if you don't mind spending more you could consider the NightOwl. I love my NightHawks which are more open the NightOwl is the closed version. Some people have both.
