Is this good for desktop DAC/amp with a Mac? Will it sound better than DragonFly?
Hello Guys,
Can I use the PHA-1 as a 'desktop amp'? Meaning:
1. Connect the PHA-1 to a USB wall charger and leave it switched on indefinitely &
2. Use an iPod as a digital source
If so, this means that I need not 'worry' about recharging the PHA-1 as it is drawing power off the usb charger. The only device I need to charge occasionally is the iPod.
Thanks in advance for answering this.
Cheers,
cansman
Hello takato 14,
Thanks for your response. I presume you actually had a chance to physically try out this arrangement with the usb charger?
I travel a lot so a semi-permanent 'desktop' amp is desirable for my use. My HP-P1 has some issues with it and am considering getting a replacement.
You made an interesting comment regarding the WM8740 DAC. I don't understand how you have come to this conclusion. To my ears, if properly implemented, the DAC sounds absolutely fine. One of the implementations that I heard extensively is through the REGA Jupiter CD player. And it was very good indeed.
Thanks again for your comments.

My Pha-1 makes noise in the audio stream when used on a Mac. Why?
Oh thing about the PHA that I heard from Jude was that they did the isolation very well with it. Lots of foil and all that good stuff in there.
Another one of your many unboxings. Thanks Mike! Unbelievably good looking. So is it a DAC/amp in one that can work together/separately? Would love to get it but I'm broke
