Hello everyone! Been a long time reader and made many purchases from information from everyone here. With that said, I'm currently in a situation where I am not quite sure on what to do so here goes.
Currently own
Sony MDR-Z1R
Sennheiser IE-900 IEM
ifi go blu
Passlabs HPA-1
Fostex HP-A8
Past
DT990's//TH900's
I love bass as you most likely can tell and tend to listen to Hiphop/House/dance but also enjoy music like Hans zimmer/orchestra at times. I just recently had to purchase a BNIB utopias as the price was to good to pass up and hearing such great things about them had me sold but...I have yet to open them. I'm not sure if I should sell them to upgrade to a better dac as the HPA8 is my first dac purchase and is showing signs of age but is still in working order and keep my Z1R. Or to sell my Z1R and make the utopias my daily and add some money in and purchase a upgraded dac like the Hugo2/RME ADI-2 pro or even to say try a tube amp. Only concern there is the low impedance on the utopias and how it will play out on a tube setup. Reading from other posts are mostly years old and wanted a refreshed perspective since this space is ever evolving. Everything listed here were just examples. Would love to hear your opinions. Thanks for reading!
