First I got Sennheiser HD 579, but to get full value out of it I had to get a DAC but to get full value out of it I had to get Spotify because local MP3 files or YouTube was not cutting it.

Then I thought I could do better, so I got beyerdynamic 770 pro, but they weren't 'open back' and I had to have 'open back' so I got HiFiMan sundara, but to get full value out of it I had to get a much better DAC and to get full value out of it I had to get Apple music because ALAC.

But those are headphones, and i can't take them everywhere, so I had to get something mobile. Hence I got moondrop Kato, but to get full value out of it I had to get a USB-C DAC.

If you are reading this, don't fall into this trap. Auditory bliss might be glorious but is it worth it?

But yes, message received, not gonna pursue this endeavour. I'm anyways in 99.9% club who might not be able to distinguish. 🙃
