With music files played on PCs and Macs or from services like Spotify, Google Play, Apple Music and Tidal, the output of the computer can prove to be a bottleneck that limits the ability to deliver sufficient power and quality to a set of audiophile-grade headphones.
No longer: A new bundle offered by Sennheiser brings together the HD 660 S, Sennheiser’s top-of-the-range, open, dynamic headphones, with the Apogee Groove - a USB DAC and headphone amp.
