Hello Head-fi!
 
I am currently using the audio technica ad700 plugged directly into my motherboard playing downloaded FLAC songs via foobar2000. i have been using this basic setup for about 6 months now and i have realized i have a passion for music so im ready to take a big step!
 
i have 2 main music preferences, heavy metal and softer music such as indie rock.
 
here are 2 albums that matches my basic taste.
1. Slipknot's self titled album
2. Arcade fire-the suburbs
 
i know i would have to get 2 different headphones because these are very different types of music.
 
browsing trough head-fi's forums for a couple of days, i am thinking of:
 
Headphones: Grado RS1i+Audeze lcd-2
Amp: Audio-GD C-2
DAC: Audio-GD NFB-3
 
i hear RCA connections are terrible and ACSS on Audio-GD's products are amazing.
 
what do you guys think?

I think you might need to think twice before buying headphones that are $600 more then the headphones you have right now. It would be better if you spent less money and got something like the Grado 325i's. That's just my opinion though, go ahead and buy the rs1's or lcd-2's, that's your choice.
