    Need reccomendations on best portable speaker setup, to go with ODAC.

    I've been traveling around, and I ordered a pair of XS book, from Focal solely based on the positive serious review they have gained, and had honestly no doubts. But I can say they disappoint for my personal taste, slightly muddy and held back, at least compared to what I'm used to with senns...

    Best budget usb/dac/amp all in one for HE-500?

    I'm looking for a all in one USB/DAC/Amp solution for my HE-500. So far as options I know of the o2+odac combo and NFB-15.32. I don't need the coax/optical,etc the NFB has and I heard mixed things about Audio GD. The o2+odac looks good. Anyone have any opinions or other suggestions?
