Good evening and a happy new year to everybody!
I'm mostly into standard home hifi but recently i decided to acquire a couple of headphones to quietly listen to my music while family sleeps. I already owned a Hifiman RE-00 IEM's and a Blaupunkt DJ112 headset which I mainly use for music practicing. Yesterday I got myself a new-old stock B&W P7 headphones from which I'm quite pleased at the moment (needs some burn-in). Low Re (22ohms) so they can be driven directly from a smartphone but when plugged on my Pioneer's A-50DA headphone out they do shine due to amplifier's larger output.
So I'm in search for a headphone / DAC that can add to the musicality compared to a standard smartphone etc with enough headroom to drive more demanding cans (like the HD6xx, etc). I'm looking at a portable solution, not necessarily a pocket one. The products I have come up till now are:
1. Topping NX4
2. Burson Play
3. Xduuo XD-05 Plus
4. Ifi idsd nano BL
5. Chord Mojo
I know Chord's Mojo costs more than the other options but I have managed to source a new one for €230 so I'm adding it to the list.
Which one of the above would you choose in terms of music reproduction quality and ample headroom?
Thank you in advance!
