I'm trying to figure out what the next logical progression is in this hobby of mine. My first forray in to the hobby was buying soundmagic pl11, and rockboxing my old sansa e260. From there, I have purchased soundmagic pl30, and klipsch image x10, upgraded my player to a voodoo mod SGS captivate as a dedicated PMP (no contract, always in airplane mode, low wifi usage gives me about a day's worth.)
The pl30 was the first, and only thing that has wowed me thus far. The klipsch sound good, but the form factor causes my ears a lot of pain, and my ears constantly eject them minutes after getting a complete seal, killing the bass response and creating sibilance regardless of tips used.
Where should I go from here? My income is about $40 every two weeks, with $27.28 of it being spent once a month, and will ideally jump soon once I start donating plasma. I listen to a variety of music. Power metal, djent, melodeath, baroque era chamber music, and 20/21st century minimalist chamber music, freeform hardcore, hardcore trance, oldshool and underground rap.
Should I sell the klipsch image x10 and get something else in the $100-$150 range? Should I keep them and experiment with different sound signatures in the budget/entry level area? Or should I invest in a dac with auxiliary out? Or something else entirely?
