Listening to my Akg through my xcans connected directly to my macbook, I'm getting goose bumps listening to Adele and Nicolas Jaar. The thing is, I have spent at least 10 times that on my hifi. While it is a really really good setup imho opinion, it is left in the dust by the detail retrail retrieval ability of my can setup. When I connect my music streamer to the can setup, it just gets better. The thing is I've heard 150,000 dollar hi-fi setups and I've heard an insane Stax sr 009 setup, the 150,000 didn't hold a candle to it. If you want to hear everything recorded I think nothing beats a headphone setup. I would love to know your opinions on this, do you think where absolute fidelity is concerned, headphones are king?
