Complete newb needs setup help
Right now I am using my PC as a temporary solution with a SoundBlaster card, but not too happy with the setup. I am unsure if investing in a mobile player, high end music streamer, or keep playing via PC is the best path forward.- Altair49

Upgrading myheadphones and amp, need help getting the cleanest sound to them.
Thats the thing, I have no choices here. I am military and located in the Middle East, if I am going to buy something and pay for it to be forwarded to a military PO (expensive) and wait for it to clear I am not going to have the option of returning it. I am pretty much stuck with the HD700 now...- Altair49

Need help reaching the next level with my set up.
Thanks again, is the V Dac superior to the DAc Magic 100 in any significant way? I preffer the Dac Magic simply because it pairs well with their dock if in the future I wish to take that route. Could a mod please move this thread to the apropriate forum?- Altair49
