Hello everyone,
I not really liking the sound of my laptops sound card. So I was thinking about buying a new external sound card or portable DAC/amp. The headphones that I use are Poineers, the HDJ-500 (40 ohms). Not really high end gear but I'm very happy with it and I mix some music some times with a midi controller. So that's why I bought them and that's why I was thinking about a the Native Instruments Audio 2DJ. They always get good comments in the DJ world
But I wanna know how it compares to some portable DAC-amps like the Fiio E7 or maybe the iBasso D2+, wich is a little more expensive. I know you can't use them for DJ-use. But I wanna know if the NI Audio 2DJ could compete with them in terms of sound quality.
and the sound is quite clear IMHO. Haven't tried Fiio E7, and didn't get the iBasso D2+ because of some not so favorable reviews of it. I'm listening to my Allen & Heath's XD-53 from a PA2V2 that is connected to one channel of the Audio 2 DJ. You could use something like that for monitoring and using the other channel for mixing, for instance. Though I'm not sure if that would be your purpose.
