Hello everyone!
I'm hoping to get some direction with my current and future audio setup, currently running my Shure SE535's through my iPhone, using Spotify. At the moment, I plan to switch to Amazon Music HD or Qobuz for my streaming platform and possibly the Shure SE846; listening purposes are recreational.
What portable DAC would give me top-of-the-line performance while not being plugged in for power. The Hidizs S9 seems like a fantastic choice, but I go on long trips, and the power drain appears to be massive. Thankfully I found this group before I got tricked into a Dragonfly. The newly released THX Onyx is what I'm leaning towards at the moment since the size is essential to me. Any direction would be appreciated!
Bonus: I know audio is very personal, but am I paying for the brand name with Shure? Any other earbuds (must be earbuds) that are "better" than Shure that I should look at picking up?
