what about the headamp pico? i believe its DAC is superior to the ibasso from what i have read but don't quote me on that.

And if I DONT use USB then the iBasso will only use it's ampifier and not dac? |

I have ordered my (soon to be coveted, hopefully) Super.Fi Pro 5's and I'm hoping they sound at least okay, and next paycheck I'll get the iBasso. Hopefully this combo will please me for a while until the deeper audiophile bug bites again. But if I am right, the iBasso + Super.Fi combo should produce quite a nice sounding experience. Hmm, my friend was also talking about "matching" or "pairing" of a dac/amp to IEMs. It sounds like there are certain combinations of these components that produce superior results due to their characteristics and how they interact with eachother. Could you give a brief explanation on that and explain how it might affect my particular soon-to-be config? |
