Topic: Audeze LCD / Headphone Beyerdynamic T1 worth the money ADI-2 DAC FS
Dear all,
its my plan to order the ADI-2 DAC FS by today or if you advise even the PRO FS.
Unclear with the PRO how easy it is to switch between phones and RCA output? The DAC FS with its remote is easy doable as I understood.
Main-usage is just to stream music from PC via USB and either use the ADI-2 as DAC/Preamp or listen via headphones.
As a newcomer with no experience the balanced/symmetrical discussion was confusing me. As far as I understood there is a difference with an advantage to balanced phones, but noise-level give an advantage back to unbalanced.
Further more the durability of the 6.3mm and especially the TRS 2.5mm connectors is adding uncertainiy as well.
But I would expect that the connectors are made for daily use? if not, does it makse sense to insert an adapter into the DAC and once adapter is "damaged" just replace it?
And finally I am willing to spend some money on a headphone and unclear if the Beyerdynamic T1 is ok or if there is a substantial benefit for the Audeze.
I am not a musican and main-goal would be to be able using the headphones on a daily basis for long duration. Easy listening if something makes sense.
The DAC I am using as of now is very poor and basic. As I am seldom renewing gear, I am willing to spend some good money to get it correct.
Can please someone comment on the topics? I should add that I have some ringing in the ears/tinnitus and hence I am listening music as very low volume mostly. Noise is one of the enemies I need to get rid. Listening volume is somewhat larger as the ongoing phantom-noise to mitigate the tinnitus noise.
many thanks
