Dear members of Audio Science Review,
Lately I have been trying to figure out how to upgrade my music listening experience. I own the Sony MDR-ZX660 headphones. I listen to music using my laptop or my phone. Usually, I listen to mp3 files (320kbps). I am not satisfied with the sound quality of my phone's & laptop's DAC/AMPs. When I connect my headphones to a normal speaker amplifier while using the same sources the sound reproduction is much better. There is a substantial improvement regarding clarity, instrument separation, presence of details and a certain "warmth" in the sound in general.
So, will I be able to improve my listening experience with a portable headphone DAC/AMP that is compatible with both PCs (Windows 10) and mobile phones (Android)? Will the improvement be substantial? Do you have any devices to suggest that are suitable for my case and I should definitely try out?
I have found 4 candidates until now
