I would start with ipod touch and Grado headphones and see how much I really want to go into that repetition.
Help a recovering audiophile build a system
Hello there! I have been out of this hobby (sickness) for about 2 years now. In 2008 I sold my entire system (look up Beauty and the Beasts) and decided to take a little breather. I am now ready to get back into this hobby, determined this time to stay focused on enjoying the music and not spend a ridiculous amount of money (no more than $4K per component).
My system now consists of a pair of Sonus Faber Cremona monitors and a huge digital music library. I am looking for advice on the following:
Integrated Amp
DAC
CD transport (instead of a DAC a CDP that has digital inputs would be nice)
My goals are clarity, dynamics, and speed with just a touch of sweetness.
Thank you in advance for your help!
