Hello,
I am buying a pair of Sennheiser Momentum Over Ear(Gen 1) and I am looking for some professional help with regards to finding the right rigs, DAPs and Amps to go with it. As for the DAP, I have narrowed it down to Fiio X1 and Fiio X3. My budget is &150-$200 and I can't buy an amp if I am buying the X3. I can afford a Fiio E11k, in case I am buying the X1. Given my situation, which of the following config would you recommend to pair with my Sennheiser Momentum cans?
a) Fiio X1 + Fiio E11k
b) Fiio X3 + No Amp
A little background information about me: I listen to the following genres: Pop, Soft Rock, Blues, Instrumental, Indian, Classical, Symphonies, Psychedelic and Techno. I like my cans to be slightly inclined towards bass.
In terms of music gear, so far I have have owned:
4 pairs of Sennheiser, just earbuds and in-ears: MX 365, MX 680, CX 275s and MM30;
1 pair of Shure SE 215 IEM and
1 pair of UE 600 IEM.
Loved my Shure. The UEs were good as well but not as good as the Shures.
Mostly used my PC and iPhone for playback.
