Hi everyone,
I have a Senn 555 that I would like to use with a PC. I'm willing to spend at most $250 to turn it into a decent source.
Browsing through the forums it seems I have the following options:
- Getting a (Total) Bithead ($200-280)
- Getting an EMU 404 ($100) and a low-end PPA ($120)
- Getting a cheaper card (chaintech, Live 24 - $30) with a better amp ($200)
- Getting a more expensive card (EMU1212, m-audio audiophile) and a cmoy
- Getting something cheap to output coax-toslink, getting a cheap outboard DAC and a PPA
- Forgetting the whole PC thing and getting a Sony CE595 SACD player ($130) with a low-end PPA ($120)
Are there any options I haven't listed? Which do you think will result in the best system?
Thanks!
Tamas
