First dive into getting my own Dac & headphone setup. I’m mainly using this for single player gaming and listening to music. No specific music genre, a bit of everything. As far as gaming goes, it was crazy playing doom eternal on this as well as something like Hogwarts legacy. The ambiance on Returnal, was upped quite a bit for me at least. I’m a definitely give my x2s a go on this Dac after a couple more sessions. I did get 69 dollar low noise power supply for this that Ifi sells, I used to get a static noise in the background when playing at higher volumes that is long gone.

Your dac didn’t change the headphone.

Nice, they are really well build and have good enough technicalities for their price, although I find all entry level ifi products to sound too warm for my taste. They are definitely excellent and even potentially pause game if you are into their house sound.

Curious, what have you tried to reach this conclusion? Just wondering what people with this opinion use, I often find they often use harder to drive headphones.

DAC's can change the how a headphone sounds. Where the classification of good and bad DAC lies is up for contention

69 Dollar snake oil lol

Maybe, I’m no expert.

Which do you prefer between the Fidelio X2 and X3?

I haven’t spent that much time with the x3s yet. But they aren’t bad. I can tell you that the x2s are a easy buy at the price point there at right now on Amazon or you can get x3s for ten bucks more.
