I have $300 dollars that I want to spend upgrading my current setup of Alessandro MS-1i (with quarter mod sennheiser pads) paired to a Nuforce uDac/amp.
My first intention was to buy some Beyerdynamic DT880, AKG K701 or Sennhiser HD600. But after checking the forum, I found some mixed opinions of what the uDac can do, therefore I´m unsure if it can properly power any of these headphones, or if it would will require a better amp. If I need a better amp, then none of those headphones would be within my price range (add 50 to the price, since I live in Chile).
If I buy any of these headphones now, even if not properly powered, is the sound going to be an improvement to the alessandros? I ask this, because I could buy the headphones now, and save for a couple of months (4-5) to buy a good amp.
On the other hand, if I only buy an amp for now, would there be any significant improvement over the udac with the Alessandros?
I also accept any other suggestions beside the headphones mentioned above.
The music I listen to is varied, form Jazz, Indie, Rock and some Hip Hop.
