Hi I was wondering what would be a good dac/amp for me to buy.
I'm looking for a portable dac/amp that can be used with a laptop and desktop and I have ~$200 to spend.
I've been considering the following:
Audinst HUD-MX1
FiiO E7+E9
uDAC
FiiO E11
A majority of my music is either female vocal heavy or dubstep/trance/techno, so I think I'm looking for gear that emphasizes forward mids, accurate bass, and detail.
My source is either a desktop, laptop, or 2nd gen iPod Nano.
The dac/amp will be used to power a pair of Audio Technica AT-ES7's, Sunrise SW x-cape IEMs, and a pair of BX5A's (not purchased yet, will buy a pair used for ~$100).
OR should I forget about spending so much on a dac/amp, buy a cheap pair of bookshelf speakers, and save up for better purchases later on.
