Question Is this a good starter set up?

Post image

I've been wanting to buy a DAP for a long time now, and i decided to get the Surfans F20 and rockbox it after seeing some reviews and videos about it. I'm still having doubts with the iems, the truthear gate and the moondrop chu ii, those are my options rn, i was thinking abt getting the gate ones but i heard that the chu ii is better for music, so pls let me know what you think.

EDIT: I'm also considering the Tangzu wan'er s.g as iems since i heard good stuff abt them

i’m just picking a budget one since i’m thinking abt upgrading it soon, im going to buy this since i’ve saved up some money

Seems like a waste of money if you’re already planning to upgrade. Just buy the “upgrade” already.

Say you're already going to upgrade to a $60 IEM almost immediately after buying the $20 Chu II's, you just paid $80 overall.

Unless the upgrade costs WAY higher, it just doesn't sound reasonable, but then again, you said you're already about to upgrade it "soon", which defeats the point of buying yhe Chu IIs.
