hello, i want to upgrade my source to a better one for my AD1000 PRM and ER4
let's see... i want a DAC that tend to dark tonality and:
-cleaner
-punchier
-smoother
-fuller mids
than the audinst
 
currently thinking about Dacport LX and Fostex HP-A3
any other suggestions?
 
thanks!
 
EDIT : forgot to mention that the budget max is USD 300

AD1000PRM and ER4 for punch and smoothness? Changing DACs won't change the underlying sound signature.

actually no, i don't want my cans become impactful or silky smooth. just a DAC that's punchier and smoother than audinst ( my main concern is that it shoulbe cleaner though )
