Hey, so I have a D30/Atom and a FiioQ1M2 connected to my windows PC via USB.
They both sound great but they both also sound VERY different.
I feel like with my Fiio Q1M2 I'm able to determine and separate instruments better. Everything feels way more laidback and the soundstage feels better.
The D30/Atom sound a lot more cramped, louder, and I feel like the music is more centralised and in my face.
I'm using AKG 712s.
I havent installed any drivers for my D30, just plug and played. WOndering if I've done anything wrong as I thought the £200 setup would destroy the £80 setup?
I've plained some orchestral music for example (Kingdom Hearts orchestra mix) and I feel like the soundstage is way broader on my Q1M2, but then all the instruments in the middle are also way way quieter on my Q1M2 and take a backseat to the entire orchestra...
