Brighter DAC than EMU 0404 USB?
I have the Benchmark DAC1 with the black front plate, maybe I should try the one with the white front plate? My EMU 0404 USB is white. I'm scared I will waste money when trying another DAC1.- KamillaLove

Brighter DAC than EMU 0404 USB?
I have searched around and found that all soundcards are muddier than the EMU 0404 USB, so I will keep this DAC. My ears are sensitive to muddy sound, and the Benchmark DAC-1 definitely has it, it puts a blanket in front of the sound which cannot be ignored. I have made many direct...- KamillaLove

Brighter DAC than EMU 0404 USB?
I have had Benchmark DAC-1 before but it sounds too muddy and dark, so I switched to EMU 0404 USB and it became more transparent. Is there anything brighter than the EMU? Perhaps a soundcard inside the computer?- KamillaLove

I will buy my husband the new K812 to replace his K702, but what amplifier do they need? He has them plugged into a EMU 0404 USB DAC.- KamillaLove

Best headphones that don't need an amp?
I would like to plug the headphones directly into the 3.5mm output of my DAC, because there is no space to place an amp behind my computer screen. I want the same high resolution performance as from Stax headphones but without any amp. Which high-end headphones can be driven without an amp?- KamillaLove

High frequency headphones?
I have tried AKG K-1000 but the high frequencies were not as good as our white livingroom speakers. I don't like the looks of K-1000, I want something that looks more cute.- KamillaLove
