Hello everybody,
I recently switched to the Samsung galaxy note 8 from my lg v20 because my contract ended and the v30 is not out yet

Anyways, I have to say that the sound quality feels downgraded a lot even though the rest of the phone is amazing. I usually listen to rock and metal so I need a good soundstage with a deep bass, that is not easy to find. I am currently using the uiisii t8 triple driver earphones which worked amazingly well with my v20 and while they work OK with the note 8, they are not the same quality. So to wrap it up I am searching for a good portable DAC with amp that I can use and some good iem that I can customise with filters and cables. So far after reading posts here I thought I can combine the LZ A4 with the sabaj da2. But because they are not the cheapest buy out there I wanted to make a post and check with everybody here first as I am new to the audiophile world.
Sorry for the massive post, have a great day everyone!
Maggie
