    Complete newb needs setup help

    Right now I am using my PC as a temporary solution with a SoundBlaster card, but not too happy with the setup. I am unsure if investing in a mobile player, high end music streamer, or keep playing via PC is the best path forward.

    Upgrading myheadphones and amp, need help getting the cleanest sound to them.

    Thats the thing, I have no choices here. I am military and located in the Middle East, if I am going to buy something and pay for it to be forwarded to a military PO (expensive) and wait for it to clear I am not going to have the option of returning it. I am pretty much stuck with the HD700 now...

    Need help reaching the next level with my set up.

    Thanks again, is the V Dac superior to the DAc Magic 100 in any significant way? I preffer the Dac Magic simply because it pairs well with their dock if in the future I wish to take that route.   Could a mod please move this thread to the apropriate forum?
