E09K + E17 or O2+ODAC?

[Bluethulhu]

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on getting either one of these for my (possible) future HD 650/HE-400s. I am currently using a pair of HD 558s which I'm itching to get an upgrade from. I am also open to other suggestions, but I would like to keep it under $300 USD. I listen to a lot of bassy music, (House, Reggae, Rock, Hip-Hop, Electro, etc.) however, I don't like the bass to override the entire song. I am also considering getting either the E17 or E09K now and buying the other later. The O2+ODAC is my second option. The ODAC is $70 more than the FiiO combo, but I'm willing to spend it. Which of these would be the better option? I am also an Amazon prime member and will be ordering from the USA, so if I could get an Amazon link, that would be great if possible.

if you get HD 650, by far the o2 dac and amp

I would get HD 650 if you listen to bassy music which you do

It's best to buy the O2/ODAC directly from Mr Mayflower. He has a discount for LTT members.

Fiio is more for budget audio solutions so the O2/ODAC will be better. The E17 is also more for a portable audio solution as well.

I'm set on getting the O2/ODAC. I can't find the discount, the link in Linus' video leads to the Fractal R4 thread.   Is it still available?

Just shoot me a message, I'll guide you through the rest.

I was in the same boat as you and also chose the O2/ODAC from Mayflower.  I should get it in the next few days.  Pretty excited! And congrats on the new purchase
