Hello. I have years of experience with very high end 2 channel audio systems using speakers, but am new to headphone listening. Due to changes in my life, I have come to the realization that the largest amount of time I will have for listening will be through headphones, so I want to put together the best sounding system I can. My total budget is around $3500, and I will need headphones, USB DAC, and headphone amp.
These are 2 solutions I am considering, and I am interested in feedback from experienced headphone users as to which of the two you feel will yield the better results. It basically comes down to either spending more on the headphones and less on the DAC and amp, or spending less on the headphones and more on the DAC and amp.
1. Audeze LCD-2, Decware Taboo MKIII, a USB DAC in the range of $700 - $1000, used.
2. Audeze LCD-3, Woo Audio Fireflies DAC/headphone amp
Thank you for your help!
