Hi,
I have been using my Sennheiser HD58X for over 7 months now. When I got them originally, neither my phone (Pixel 3) nor my Laptop (Asus X150) were powerful enough to run them at a good enough volume. I hence got the FiiO A3 portable headphone amp for them.
When I charge my Amp when using the headphones, there is a lot of static. When using the amps on their battery power though, they sound fine. Also, I need to connect the amp to my laptop headphone output and the laptop only shows it as speakers out (even though it outputs the audio from the headphone jack).
I am considering upgrading, but do not want to spend a lot. I think getting a DAC/AMP combo will be a better choice and through the past threads, I am tempted on upgrading to the Schiit Fulla 3. Can someone tell me if it will be a worthy upgrade, or will it turn up to be "fulla Schiit"?
Will only buying a DAC be enough? Do you have any other recommendations?
Thanks for the help in advance!
