    Review by 'dextersventures' on item 'Denon AH-D7000 - Headphones'

    The Denon D7000's are perhaps the most used headphone in my collection because it has a very relaxing sound and a great soundstage.   Soundstage The soundstage is excellent for movies. I can hear absolutely everything in a movie. For instance, I often get lost in the background every time...

    Any current PC Soundcard transports (optical or coaxial) for my DAC1 (non-usb).

    Basically, all I want is a way to install toslink or coaxial on my pc I custom build so I can connect an external Dac that doesnt have USB without sacrificing data sound quality (bit perfect).

    Any current PC Soundcard transports (optical or coaxial) for my DAC1 (non-usb).

    Which DAC for my system? Either Stello DA220 MKII or Lavry DA10 or Bel Canto DAC2

    EC/SS & Grado appreciation!

    I just purchased the EC/SS with my grados. Oh my god, I am in heaven. This is the only headphone amp that has truly given justice to my grados. It is truly amazing. Every note is superfast, precise, and amazing. Excellent for every type of music, especially techno.

    Which of these DAC's for my system.

    I am planning on buying some Sennheiser HD650s and a Woo Audio 3 tube amp with the upgraded sylvania 7236 tubes. The only missing component is a DAC.

    Yep, I matched the impedance on the card to the rating of grados. Really that is already the default when buying.
