So I currently have two setups for my music...my home and portable. At home I have a pair of HD650s with Silver dragon Cables hooked to Woo Audio 6 SE and an Apogee Duet. I am completely floored by this setup and sounds really wonderful and airy with just about anything I play on it. My problem is that my portable/office rig doesn't impress me very much in comparison. I have a Zune 80 hooked to an iQube and a pair of SE530s and it seems really flat in comparison. The SE530s honestly don't sound much different through the headphone out vs. the iqube. Would an iPod through LOD be much better? Is there really any way that that I can get my portable system to sound anywhere near as good as my home one through my current IEM's? Would a Ray Samuels SR-71a give it a more impressive sound than my iQube? Is it too much to ask for something that sounds great AND is portable? I know you guys always have a wealth of experience and good advice. Feel free to substitute any part of my current setup but not my IEMs since they are quite new and I really like their fit. Btw, my musical preferences range anywhere from classical/jazz to classic rock, to electronica...
Finally, if you think its not worth the hassle of an amp for the SE530s, please let me know and suggest a good portable DAP for them.
Thanks a lot!!
