ok, another noobish question...
I decided to upgrade my HD595 a bit and I'm not sure which one to pick and which one will give me the best bang for buck...

Currently I'm listening to my HD 595 right from the on board card - frown.gif

I've looked at these upgrades - but I'm open for anything in that price range:

1. FiiO E9 Desktop Headphone Amplifier and E7 USB DAC
2. Hi-Fi Man - EF2A - Tube USB DAC /Headphone Amp
3. NuForce Icon uDAC2-HP
4. Native Instruments AUDIO 2 DJ

which one would you get?

Or maybe something different?

Thanks!

I assume your max price point is around 200$. I can recommend

 

  • HRT Music Streamer II and an amp (E9/V-Can or Imamp) -> This will cost around 250-300$ but I highly reccomend this combo. The dac is also asynchronous.

 

  • Youlong u100

 

  • Audinst Mx-1

You could get a NI Audio 2 DJ and a Fiio E9, that would give you tons of volume, and with quality to boot biggrin.gif
