My current set of earphones are CIEMS: Noble Audio Encores.
I drive them using my iPhone X or my macbook pro. I know I should get a DAP - but they sound pretty good as they are direct from these sources.
However, they do hurt my ears (left side is too big, looking to have it adjusted). Regardless, I can wear them when mobile but I'd like to pick up a pair of Sennheiser HD650 for home use.
I'd like to know what is the cheapest amp I should get that would pair well with them?
I've read the A20 is best, is that true?
Finally, all my music resides either on my iPhone X or through my macbook Pro. Should I be looking also at some other device to play from?
I'm really just looking to start enjoying the HD650 but don't have budget to buy a $1300+ amp, etc. What would you suggest?
