[QUOTE="floydthebarber71, post: 1081139, member: 18913"] Hi, so I was thinking of splitting the budget of headphones to dac kinda equally...maybe slightly more to the headphones. But would you suggest or recommend spending most of the budget on headphones, and get a cheaper dac? I know it's a very generic question, but for example would spending R2k on a DAC and then R10k on headphones make sense? Or anyone to answer this, really... what would be a good split. I'm leaning towards going r2r or multibit. I prefer a more musical DAC than crystal clear (and cold) details. So maybe a Schiit multibit or Audio GD R2R 11. But just feels weird if I get some high end headphones, and the rest of the chain is "weak". I do also have a Tidal sub, so MQA support would just be a bonus, but not a priority. [/QUOTE]
