Hi guys. I’ve always used the m40x audio-technica with the Fiio e10k amp / dac. I recently bought the Sennheiser 6xx, I feel I have enough volume using this amp.
Is it worth upgrading? Will I notice any significant difference if I buy a better dac / amp?
I personally think you might want to spend a bit more an get something like a fiio k5 pro, as it has plenty of power on tap, and would be a general overall upgrade from the e10k imo
Alternatively, you could grab a schiit magni heresy and use the e10k as a dac, and that would give you plenty of quality power. If you wanted to spice it up, you could get a little dot mk2 tube amp and try out the 6xx on a tube which would be pretty nice if you wanted something different
It’s a hybrid tube amp, it’s alright but honestly I would really suggest going for the little dot mk2 or if you wanted cheaper the little dot mk1+ or joxjie p20
I saw the creative Sound BlasterX G6 and Soundblaster X3, they also seem to be good options mainly because they have micro inputs but the software scares me
