RE: My headphone system upgrade results ... so far

Posted by rrsands on August 9, 2019 at 04:40:59:
A lot of folks don't realize how good less expensive DAC/amps can be. Yours is a good example of a reasonably priced system (adding the Drop cans) that should sound exceptional.

I too have the 6XXs, and love the things. Best $200 I've spent in a long time. Using a Micca Origen2 DAC/Amp daily for now (have a Mojo, but battery life won't allow for all day listening), but have the Drop THX amp on order for Nov delivery, and am anxious to see if it's as good as advertised. You might look into this amp. At $400, not cheap, but certainly in the affordable range. After that, a new DAC.

Other cans include the Focal Elear, Sony 1000mk3 wireless NC; IEMs, JH Audio 13v2s, Shure 535s.
