That's what I'm currently looking for… Hamburg ⚓️ people, do you hear me?
As I got sucked into the head-fi adventure some two years ago (damn!), I'm experiencing this massive rabbit hole of audiophile seductions (being a hobby photographer, I know the "gear acquisition syndrome" all too well) with a limited budget, so I'm not really sure if things like the Euforia are something I could or should afford if there's something else that gives me more goose bumps for the buck.
Closing the cirlce, I'll never find out until I tried – which brings us back to the first advice you've given. ;-)
Funnily enough I'm also a photographer, so I know that pain well! And yeah, the two hobbies are very similar because you can go a long way on a budget if you're judicious and patient, but there's a point where you just hit a technical wall. I remember upgrading from a Canon 85mm 1.4 to a 85mm 1.2L and learning that some high-end gear is not a trick or a placebo, it really is substantially better. I still ended up selling it though, so better certainly isn't the end all and be all.
I'm definitely not in the market for a Euforia but I did just wipe out my budget on a DX240 and I'm really happy I splurged, it reintroduced me to my library and gives me those goosebumps. I wouldn't tell anyone to go broke doing this but at the end of the day we love music and want to know how good it can be before we're dead, so I say dive as deep as you can. :)
