Hi guys
I've been confusing myself more and more on forums, and have settled on a EMU 0404usb as my dac/stand in amp. I was originally going to pair this with some SR325i's and maybe add in a MAD Ear+ somewhere down the line.
I'm wondering now if it's worth blowing some extra money on the rs series. I;m currently in the USA at the mo and the strength of the exchange rate makes the rs-2's 100GBP more and the rs-1's another 100 on top of that.
My only concern is that these phones (rs1, rs2) will be wasted on the emu 0404usb until/if I get a better headphone amp. I know there's the rubbish in/rubbish out arguement but also the one where it's best to spend your money on the best phones first.
Any input would be greatly received and maybe some advice on a better dac/amp or cheap amp ($300) or better combination of headphones, amp and dac to spend approx $1000usd on.
Many thanks
Maty
