@headphonedreams Are you finding that the Amirons sound sibilant on vocals, sharp sssss? Was considering these, but some reviews say they are too sharp, unless maybe used with a tubed headphone Amp such as the Darkvoice.
Need new headphone setup.
I have a speaker oriented system that is very satisfying to me. But because of a need to maintain domestic tranquility I’m looking to go to a less noisy alternative: i..e. headphones.
I want to spend a total of about $1000. So, nothing too fancy. Not the equivalent of my much more expensive speaker system.
What do I need to assemble a headphone system independent of my regular system which is accessible from my listening chair and side table?
I plan on solely streaming. My present system contains a WiFi streamer.
Can that be incorporated, or do I need a new streamer?
I understand that I need a headphone preamp along with the cans.
I know my budget is not too high, but can I get something relatively decent at it?
Currently, I listen though cheap ear buds and stream through an iPad.

@audioguy85 no, I don't have a problem with that. They are generally known to be easier on the ears than dt1990 which are otherwise very similar. Dt1990 has a bit more detail instead. |
@rvpiano So how’s the new HeadFi rig working out for you? |
I upgraded from my Dragonfly Red to a Singxer SA-1 Class A, fully-balanced amp (still fed by the Red as a DAC) and it was a huge improvement. Then I added a Musician Pegasus DAC that again took the sound to much a higher level, and now I’m waiting for my LTA MZ2 tube amp to arrive because this sickness never ends. Anyway, just food for thought for the future FWIW and glad you’re enjoying your new mini rig. |
