DAC for Sennhesier HD650, how is the Headroom Micro DAC
Is the Headroom Micro DAC ($300) decent value for the money for a Sennheiser HD650? (played from a PC, ripped at 256 kbs)? Any other DACs you would suggest? If a $150 DAC is good enough (from a PC) then I'd rather put the extra money into a better AMP which I will also get- ArcLight
