Hello everyone,
Let me just start off by saying that I am not in any way an audiophile...I'd like to be, but I simply dont have the fundings and my parents don't like to spoil me.
Anyways, I just ordered the Sennheiser HD 598 headphones and here and there I read that my mobile phone(SE Vivaz Pro) won't be able to the most out of my Hd 598's. So now I want to buy either a DAC or a Headphone amp but I have no idea if a DAC can help my phone power the headphones or if that's really something that only an amp can do. If DAC's can ''power'' phones, then I will most likely be looking at the option of the Fiio D5 or D3, and it's about these that I have a two questions:
- Which one would be better to use with my phone?
- Which one provides better quality?
Also, my budget is around 20 - 60 euro's and I'm not really looking for anything that's more expensive than that. I can always upgrade in the future.
Peace!
P.s. I'm sorry if the noob level on this question surpasses the 100.
