First post here and being newbie what comes to headphones and amps, I am of course asking for some guidance and help what comes to buying my first amp/dac.
I have recently bought AKG K550 MK2 headphones and have been taken JRiver Mediacenter in use. I am pleased with sound already, but I would like to see what can be achieved with separate amp/dac. Source is PC, Macbook air or Galaxy Note 4 on the run. All songs that I have are FLAC’s or mp3’s.
Have been thinking about Fiio’s amp/dac combo’s. Basically question is whether to choose Fiio K1, Q1, Alpen 2-E17K or Kunlun-E18. Can all of these act as amp and DAC simultaneously? Which one would you choose out of these an why if cost is no object between these models?
Thanks for any advice!
