Hi to all -
I have been reviewing credible articles on the sonic qualities and comfort of either Senn 600’s or HiFiman Sundara’s as I already have closed cans for travel. Most of what I listen to is either on Tidal or Apple Music downloads at Lossless and have a wide range of tastes from Jazz (Wes Montgomery, Chet Baker, Kingfish, Tai Farlow) to Classic Rock (Dead, Phish, Zep, Pink Floyd), Vocal artists (Diana Krall, Tony, Diane Schuur) and some classical.
While everyone has their own perspective I definitely want a more open sound stage as a priority which the Sundara’s appear to posses, again only from reviews as well as faster response. Will demo if possible to find both in one place, or get both and sell the other.
As far as pairing with a good desktop DAC there is some consensus that DacMagic 200M is a solid performer and own Cambridge gear - but then is the question will a entry level tube DAC like a XDUOO TA-84 OTL give the Sundara more warmth, more analog sound quality. I thought about the iFi hip-dac3 but portability is not a priority.
Appreciate comments on the pairing as am leaning towards the Sundara’s, even if perhaps somewhat less comfortable, again personal preference of other people.
Thanks
