The next thing I did was listen to some Audeze headphones.
Not their top tier models, but the ones just below, the LCD-2 and LCD-3 (below).
The LCD-2 with an Audeze headphone amp/DAC (retail 895€) sounded magnificent, but felt a bit heavy on my head.
Bass and detail were incredible.
It all improved even more with the LCD-3, and this amp:
The Burson retails for 2.5K.
Truly wonderful!
Still heavy, but the music sounded delicious: it had detail, warmth, naturalness.
How would their top model be?!
