Verum 2 - dac/amps, cable recommendations
Looking at two dac/amp options for my new Verum 2 cans - the Fiio K11 and the Hifiman EF400. Has anyone compared the two enough to make a recommendation for one or the other. Music will be sourced, via USB cable, from PC.
4.4mm balanced cable rec's greatly appreciated, as well. Max budget for the dac/amp is $500, cables around $100. I'm also open to a 3rd option, too.
Fwiw, my ears tend towards a highly detailed, yet velvety-smooth sound. Not dry/analytical.
I don’t know about the two you mentioned, but I’d compare them to something like the Schiit Magni amp combined with the Modius or Modi Multibit DAC — I much prefer separates myself. For a cable I’d do this — 6N copper and Neutrik plugs, and the Hifiman version with 3.5mm connectors should work with your ‘phones. https://apos.audio/products/apos-flow-headphone-cable-hifiman-sundara-ananda-arya-susvara Just another idea FWIW, and best of luck. |
