Wow, that‘s a very high-end headphone to pair with the R3! What DAC/AMP have you been using with them so far? Please report your experiences when you get the R3, how it compares to other sources with the Elear!
@SG:
Yes, will try & do so.
Yes it I is but that very fact makes me want to get maximum use & value out of them for my mobility use, leaving them at home really is kind of wasting them.
I also have & use outside a great pair of Deon AH-D7200 hp, Audioquest Nighthawks which are great as well but the bar at the top of band makes them a bit more problematic to take out as well as for just BT use I have the Focal Listen Wireless. [also have a like new pair of AKG K701’s not in use anymore]
So I alternate usage depending on how I feel or where I’m going & doing outside.
Well since I’ve been undecided on what I wanted to get/use for my mobile/portable use for quite some time, passing up on numerous other well received & highly reviewed but many too expensive.
Almost got the R6 but exchange rate was too onerous & killed that idea] so it’s mostly for when I’m out for coffee/photography etc which is most everyday I decided on the R3 since it’s extremely small & lightweight.
Also thoughts of getting the Mytek Clef & or the iFi xDSD to use my iP8+ but obviously want to liberate myself from it & iTunes etc
The R3 will allow me to download HiRes audio files & do justice to my Focal Elear & Denon D7200 headphones!
I’ve also got a JDS LABS C5 hp amp, XDuoo X3 DAP, an iFi Nano iDSD.
My uncertainty for a great small light portable DAP to play primarily HiRes files seems to be answered with the R3, but deciding on my what to use for my home audio system has been narrowed down to a few early choices of DAC/Amps like the Naim DAC-V1, the Mytek Brooklyn+ & the new iFi
Pro – iDSD, but now that the Pro iDSD has just come out it’s looking like the real deal & I think that’ll be the winner for my home audio system!
Will likely get it this fall, Black Friday/Xmas I hope.
So as you can see I’m in the midst of trying to solve all my audio listening needs [at once] sooner than later.
Just trying to sort it all out now so I can just stop listen & enjoy my music.
Cheers...
