>>23200804I have a K5 Pro and a pair of Dekoni Blues and a bunch of random chifi IEMs. As far as I'm concerned I can't hear any difference in quality between my $150 dac/amp and the $8,000 ones I've listened to. diminishing returns for headphones maxes out for me around $1,000, with the Aeon 2, as far as I'm concerned nothing above that is worth the money. Chi-fi IEMs are at this point so good that the diminishing returns set it around $350 with the Blessing 2 Dusk and 7Hz timeless and JVC HAFD01. If you like in ears you can get an endgame level setup for about $500 including dac/amp and buds. Imo the best value in the IEM market is actually sub $100 with how good some of the most recent chi-fi is.
