So, I have a rather nice - in my opinion at least - stereo set up in the form of B&W Formation Duos, which retail at £3500 plus the rather overpriced speaker stands at £700. Short of streaming music via Spotify Connect from my iPhone, this is my entire set up. In essence a £4200 hifi.
My question is what would I have to spend on a set of high end headphones, an amp and DAC, plus cables, to achieve the same quality in listening? I’m not necessarily trying to replicate the B&W sound signature, rather the general overall experience of high end speakers.
There’s no budget at this stage, I’m just trying to get a sense of what I might need to spend to replicate my system, but in headphone form. Especially as people often say that you get for more for your money with a headphone set up versus the equivalent spent on speakers.
