Hi,
I'm new to the forum and looking for recommendations for cans and a DAC/amp. I've been interested for years but finally have some money to spare. Probably the nicest I've owned are the Bose QC25, but I'm ready to move on to something better. I was tempted by the HD 650s and saw the massdrop for HD 6XXs which interested me, however they are built on an older design and I've read that some newer headphones have much tighter and responsive bass which interests me a lot. Somewhere I read good things about Philips Fidelio for this, but the reviews weren't as good so I ditched that idea. I've never owned a DAC/amp before and have no idea where to start. In all, I want the flattest sound possible at a reasonable price for a beginner and I'm not sure what budget range to be in. I could really use some opinions since there's too many options and it's hard to trust product reviews as well as webpages like "Best 7 headphones for audiophiles (Spring 2020)".
Thanks!
