Hi guys,
I want a headphone DAC for my ipod Touch and Sennheiser HD598 headphones within a range of Rs.15000. The DAC may be a desktop DAC or a portable one but I don't want portability at the cost of the sound quality. So even if it is a desktop one, it is OK with me. As you may know, HD598s are a neutral pair of headphones and very good ones at that, therefore I want a DAC which should amplify the sound qualities basically the soundstage and not preferably bass.
I checked out online and found some models matching my requirements. All of them are from FiiO as I couldn't find other brands in this price range. The likes of Asus are way too costly. The models I could find are FiiO - Kunlun E18, FiiO E17K - Alpen 2 and Fiio E17 - Alpen. Please tell me if any of them satisfies my requirements well and do they also work with Apple products and PCs. Please also feel free to recommend any other DAC apart from the above mentioned ones if it is better.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
