    Source- Sony DVP S7000 - Do I need external DAC?

    I have the S7700 and use it as a transport for my OMZ and a Sonic Frontiers TransDac. I haven't used the S7700 as a standalone for quite awhile but what I remember was the added resolution with an outboard DAC.

    Quote: Originally Posted by atothex If it also has Firewire, everyone says the Apogee Duet is amazing. HeadLover: you also have a Pico DAC, yes? I'd be very interested in the Oritek vs Pico. I used to have a Pico and did compare the DAC/amp combo of both. I found the Oritek to...

    What Are Your Keepers?

    Based on a little reading here, my first purchase here were my HD600/Cardas combo way back. For whatever reason, these HD600s have some nice cushy pads that make them very comfortable for me. Though, far from the best headphones, I've grown attached to them like "old sneakers". Don't think...
