Hah fair, thanks. So now just to decide the headphones... Ananda vs Sundara vs anything else under £700. Open to suggestions

Thanks! Reading up on them though I see people say they aren't that fun/entertaining a sound, is there any weight to that or is it just people used to £1k+ DAC/Amps being overly critical?

After reading reviews, I think this EX5 is going to be one one. One question; could I use the RCA outputs to output it into my Arcam amp so essentially just use this as a DAC? The Arcam has an interesting sound so would be cool to be able to listen to both, especially further down the line if I...

Wow that EX5 looks amazing - looks like I could also then use it as a DAC for my JBL LSR310s & LSR305s? Only thing is my mic so would still need to use my Scarlet 2i2 for the mic input I guess. What's the XLR jack on the front for?

Thanks, is it this thing? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0987SG87T/ref=twister_B0987T2V79?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 I will probably swap between whichever new set of phones I buy and my AKG K712pro. How good is bluetooth when it comes to these expensive headphones? I see Hifiman do a bluetooth model...

Thanks, I love the open-back sound though. Also considering Sundara & Edition XS, LCD-X and a few others but best not to get into headphone recomendations for now. Anyway, my questions altered based on new info: 1. Could I use a Ifi Zen Dac V2 to then output to my current Arcam amp or is there...

Thanks all - really great insight. I'm pretty sure it's a ground loop issue I'm having but interesting to hear that amps have actually changed a lot. Couple of additional questions if that's okay; 1. Could I use a Ifi Zen Dac V2 to then output to my current Arcam amp or is there no point, the...

Sound is somewhat subjective, I love these cans although I'm eyeing up some Focal Clear MG's. So, the sound originates from my computer via USB into my Scarlet 2i2 audio interface. Then from the headphone jack of the 2i2 into my Amp via a 3.5mm to RCA cable and then, of course, the headphone...

Hey all, I've been using a Scarlet 2i2 for years with my AKG K712Pro and whilst it's always been detailed they haven't ever wowed me. As a result I've decided to look at new headphones with a budget of up to £1k. Someone, however, suggested that using an audio interface, such as the Focusrite...
