Too simplistic? Hardly, if you like the manufacturers house sound. Instead of trying to cobble an entry level headphone system together I decided on a Schiit stack (including cables). Made sense to me and wasn't disappointed.
Is there any merit to assembling a same stack system to achieve excellent performance?
I read lots on here regarding the importance of system/component matching as well as speaker synergy with amplification. Is it too simplistic to simply acquire same manufacturer electronic components (integrated/dac/turntable/phonostage) while spending more time on matching the desired speakers to the 'same stack' of gear?
