I wish I hadn't have discounted iems, since I now use them much more than my over ears, even when I'm at home. I also wish I had have had a better understanding of the type of sound signature I preferred, would have saved myself a lot of time and money. That being said, I did enjoy the journey itself to finding my end game 🙂

Amps & Dacs aren’t as important as headphones

How true is this? I wanted to order a Sonata HD Pro for my Timeless, but I don't know if they're really necessary. One of my devices doesn't have a headphone jack, though.

Used Apple Dongle with Blessing 2. Bought Fiio KA1, used for two weeks, returned Fiio KA1, back to Apple Dongle. No difference :D

I think I might grab one to check as well, it's so well recommended here xD Cheap too.
