New Head-Fier
I pulled out my (at least) 10 year old HRT HeadStreamer and plugged it into my Windows 10 laptop and Sennheiser HD 660s2's.
I really like the way it sounds -- it's musical yet detailed and insightful.
I haven't been using outboard dacs (for my laptop or iPhone) and I'm wondering about purchasing a new outboard dac.
Do you think that modern portable solid-state dacs have made vast improvements in sound quality since the HeadStreamer?
I'm not taking this answer as a given ("yes") because I find that I enjoy my older (1990's era) CD player's sound (using its TDA 1541 D/A chip) which is smooth and musical and more analog-sounding to me than modern players.
Thanks for your response!
