So I'm thinking of upgrading my setup, well more of creating a low budget setup ;). I'm looking to buy some ath-m50 cans for music listening (flac). Right now I have a dedicated sound card in my comp, bought it a few years ago, its a Creative Soundblaster Live! 24bit card. Now I'm wondering if you guys think the Icon uDAC-2 would be a worthy upgrade to quality in my music, and also to use as a basic amp for the m50's. Thanks for the replies.
