This is actually the thing. Getting the "best" headphones that can scale with your other "investments".The experience from upgrading headphones was profound compared to differences in DACs at this level.
"Best" and "investments" are incredibly subjective qualifiers. I think "best" is obvious but "investments" may need some clarification.
One's "investments" take into account all kinds of things that only really oneself can determine.
Examples include
- form factor. The "investment" has to fit where one needs it to fit. Who else can determine that?
- Price. Only oneself can determine what a reasonable financial expenditure it.
- Aesthetics. One's aesthetic judgement must be catered to. Some say aesthetics don't matter but that itself is an aesthetic judgement.
- Peer pressure. Oddly enough, one's crowd has an influence on what one finds a good "investment". The ASR crowd and the audio asylum crowd have different ideas on what is good.
For me, I want a Modi Multibit because it'll stack nicely on with the Piety, is reasonably priced, reproduces acoustic music wonderfully, is approved by my fellow SchiitHeads, etc. And I want one of these: https://snakeoilsound.com/products/...it-modi-magni-vali-stack-free-shipping-to-usa
