Ok so I am gradually working my way to a complete home listening setup.
Right now I have the DT770/80s.
Eventually I want to have open Darths with the covers (open and closed on the same 'phone woo)
And I want to play it using my computer as a source.
I don't really want to go through the mini-upgrade process and stuff. i just want to get each piece separately.
Upgrading to Darths will probably cost me upwards $500. That one's going to be the last step though (I think).
So right now I think I need an amp. Home amps are better cost/benefit value than portables, right?
Anyway, I'd like the amp/DAC/sound card and whatever else goes between my computer and my headphones to cost total somewhere around $500.
Is that reasonable or is that a stupid way of splitting up cost?
So the real questions are the following:
Is this a reasonable way of going about things?
If not, tell me how I should change my view...
If so, what amp will fit well with DT770s/darths and this current plan
And also what other components will I need to complete my eventual masterpiece setup?
Sorry for the long discombobulated post... and thanks for reading.
