Hello Everyone!
My first post @ Head-fi!
I recently took an interest in headphones after getting a portable player and decent in-ears.
For no specific reason and more of impulse I got the Musical Fidelity M1 DAC and HPA combo.
I hook this up to my custom parts computer with built in realtek hd sound.
An el cheapo coax cable goes from my sound card to my dac and that to the phone amp.
Got a pair of HD650 and I've listened a little to my cd res lossless collection.
A little is some 50 hours or so.
I'm not really sure what kind of quality to expect here as it was an impulse buy without testing any of the gear before hand. I don't really have anything to compare with either.
Won't say that I'm dissapointed currently but some kind of transport, perhaps the Hiface Evo seems like the next step.
My question is if there would be an increase in quality that would be noticable by adding another 2-400€ on a transport on this rather low-end setup?
What are your thoughts?
