I am not an owner of the A5's...Not yet...They are coming...But not yet.

But it would seem impossible to my way of thinking that any computer as source system that consist of either a sound card/T-amp/DAC A5 solution could hang with a 1k-2k headphone setup.

I love headphones...I am kinda of ashamed to comment on what I own, but to me they sound awesome.

I have a decent Home Theatre System...Yamaha/Polk Audio and find myself watching movies wearing my headphones more often than not...Especially if I am viewing by myself.

Funny...I do not give much thought to cranking the music in my computer room...But have resevations about watching movies with the volume cranked up on my home theatre system.

But I personally think that it would be impossible for even a low end headphone setup not to demolish a sound card/DAC-T-amp, speaker solution for sound quality.
