    Hi SBAF trust.
    I'm after advice for those with much greater knowledge than me. Although I've been into HiFi for 20+ years, I rate my knowledge at >5% when compared to members in this group.
    A little about me: I'm 60 years old, live in an apartment by myself (if you don't include my pooch)
    I mostly listen to soundtracks, classical and vocals, but sometimes let loose with EDM
    I have the following setups
    Spotify Premium + my laptop music files
    Bluesound Node via Toslink to the following
    RME-ADI-2 FS + Bottlehead Crack with Speedball + HD800S + HD650's
    Schiit Bitrost2 + Schiit Lyr3 + Focal Clear OG + LCD-2 Fazor + Modhouse Argon Mk3
    I'm wanting to buy a pair of ZMF Verite Closed but will need to sell some gear previously mentioned to buy them.
    Of course, I understand it's Subjective. HOWEVER, if it was you and could only keep, one (maybe two) AMPs and one DAC and two or three headphones that would cover most genres.
    What would you keep as your one and only stack with 2 or 3 headphones and why?
    I'll be keeping my Bluesound Node and laptop as a source
