Alrighty, okay. So I heard my first planar just the other day. And wow, I'm speechless. I bought the HifiMan HE-400i and man, they're good. In all aspects but soundstage (which isn't quite the shape I enjoy) they're spectacular. But, I've been thinking: I already have the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Studio, and I really like them. They do everything right for me. They're comfy, sound great, isolate the horrid sound of my PC fans, and more. They aren't as good as the HifiMan, but I still like them. Now, hold onto that bit of info, switching gears:
The DAC I use for my PC is a Fiio K1 USB DAC (It's basically a cheaper and slightly less capable Dragonfly Black). And it's also good. It does its job. And I was thinking "Jeez, if I send the HiFiMan back, I could upgrade my DAC instead."
So now I'm tied. Should I keep the HiFiman and revel in planar glory? Or should I send them back, stick with my reliable DT 770's and just buy a Schiit Fulla 2 or something similar? What would you all do?
