If i use it as a dac, then do you have any recommendations to what I have to get? is the AMC 2100 something that would work? the dac would then be grace m903. Just asking to know that it is the right track I am going.

What do i need to drive floorstanding speakers with a headphone amp/dac?

edit thanks

Quote:   yes, the thing is i could use the behringer UCA-222 or HRT Music Streamer II + and maybe a Burson HA-160. and save money. But if I go on the interwebb the next day and regret it, then I might upgrade soon. and then i wont save money.   maan. i'll just buy it and shut the...

Hi. I am buying dt990 250ohm, and in max 6 months I will buy LCD-2 rev2 (or i might waight for the lcd closed cans, maymaybe). So I need an amp and a dac. And I am thinking of buying the Grace M903.   I like bass, but i also love to hear all the instruments so i like soundstage too...

Hi, can I get some help? Want to watch movies: Using the NFB 10.2.   Sennheiser HD 650 or Beyerdynamic DT990 250ohm

Quote: Well i use a laptop (acer aspire 7730g), do not know much about the name or version but, the specs says i should have 5.1 and : "Dolby Digital Live, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, High Definition Audio, Dolby Home Theater"     Quote:   Oh, wow. Well, good news atleast :) Thought...

Hi great thread, but I sadly just notised this thread. I say sadly because I have allready placed an order on some stuff, unknown to all this. I just thought a spdif would be enough..for everything I wanted.. Quote: So I have to use usb? I am expecting the stuff this week, so I am...

Quote:   I think I will switch out the little dot with a Darkvoice 336se btw.   Will use the laptop, with built in 3.5mm optical spdif. Player - foobar - flac.  Will do other things, like movies and games. soundstage is therefor important.

Hi, I am in the final phase now. Just need a dac recommendation.   Here is what I am getting:   Beyer dt880 600ohm Little Dot mk III (?) Raytheon JAN-CRP-6SN7s-VT-231 -Square -D -Getter  (Not sure what "Square" means)   Just need a dac with spdif input (toslink) that will fit my...

Quote: Thanks, Would the low cost DAC have much to say on the quality of the sound. Also could the onboard soundcard that the laptop have also "mess" up the sound to the point where usb would be a better choice?   How much up in price do i have to go to notice a differance on the dac...

OK then i will go for the dt880....   Quote: It says that my Acer Aspire 7730G does have s/pdif output, on the sound panel, also as info on the pc. But I have read some people saying this is not true :S . I cannot find the output on the laptop. I have heard that the audio jack can be...

Quote: A natural sound is inportant too. Man this is so difficult!   But, I will go for the HiFiMan EF-2A (i think)   and, the info says "Output Impedance: 32-300 Ohm", should'nt I get a dac+amp that is 600ohm to fully use the headphones? Also want to get another set of phones...

I am using a laptop. zero? I thought the dt880 was one of the best for gaming and / or movies?   Edit: Sorry, did you mean the amp / dac?   Quote:

I am not sure about the dt990 vs dt880 situation.   I do like to hear the bass in a song, and thinking I will be using the headphones to watch movies (and games) the bass and soundstage is werry important.   I listen to mostly electronica, or Ratatat would be the aim. But like I said...
