Interesting. I've been on the phone with HeadRoom several times - Mario has been really helpful.
Agree with you on the point you make about not being sure what I'd upgrade to a year down the road. My thought process was pretty budget-driven. I just figure a maxed out Desktop/DAC setup is around $2100 without the power supply, and I really can't see myself spending more than that to go up to the maxed out Home (damn, that puppy would be $3000!!!) This is why I figured getting the power supply outta the way now would lessen the cost of the upgrade later on, and if I decide not to upgrade at all I've still got a better (yeah, but how much??) Micro Stack because of the power supply.
I hadn't really thought about another manufacturer, though. I've read nothing but rave reviews of their stuff, but I guess for $2100 there are probably a lot of options out there....
Man, this is gonna be an expensive hobby. I can't believe I actually thought that dropping $300 on the cans was gonna do it.....
