Hello guys,
I apologize if this question has been asked again. I am still searching within this thread to construct an answer for myself, but any additional help would be much appreciated.
I currently bought the HD700 at a great price, and my current setup is with a Fiio E9+E17 (AMP + DAC). I am thinking of upgrading that to the Schiit Bifrost with either the Asgard 2, Valhalla 2 or Lyr 2.
I have 3 questions:
1. Which one suits the HD700 best?
2. Would I notice an upgrade from my existing E9+E17?
3. I heard that the DAC isn't too big of a difference in terms of upgrade, so would it be okay to keep the E17 and just get an AMP first?
I am hoping to achieve the following:
- More detail, punch and soundstage
- Mellow the treble a bit and add more heft to the mid-bass
- More importantly, I want to make my money's worth, so if the difference is subtle, then I rather save the $1,000+ upgrade.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
