Hello,
I'm new to head-fi, just getting into the whole world of audiophilia. I've had some Grado SR60s for a while now, I love them like my first car! After auditioning a friend's RS2s last year, I started saving and finally found myself able to purchase a pair (from our own LCfiner) last week. Just got 'em in the mail and I'm lovin it!
I'm hoping to put together a decent (...decent?) desktop rig to do these cans some justice! And so I can spend some time listening and learning before investing in any better equipment. I'm trying to throw together a budget tube amp setup, if possible.
The LD1+ seems to fit the bill pretty well. I was wondering, is there a goto DAC for less than $150? I've heard of many people using the e7, but are there any other popular options? I'm looking for USB or optical input (Macbook Pro). No internal amp required, if I have that LD1+. I know there's a lot of DAC threads out there, I just couldn't find any strong voice for something other than the e7 in that price range.
Thanks for your help. I look forward to being an active part of this community, now that i'm doing more than just reading posts and drooling!
Nick
