Hey everybody, I'm back again with more questions! :P I'm ready to buy my new amp and DAC, and I've narrowed it down to 2 choices, the Audio-GD C2 and DAC19 DSP1, or the Meier Audio Concerto and StageDAC. The Audio-GD combo is a bit cheaper which is nice, but to be honest I don't have a clue...

Hey guys, I'm trying to decide what amp/DAC to get for my D5000s, and I'm having trouble deciding which of my 2 options to go with. I've narrowed it down to the HeadRoom Desktop Amp and the Audio-GD C2/DAC19 combo. Both are around $800 + shipping. From what I understand, neither will...

I'm looking at getting a pair of these for my D5000s but I'm having a tough time deciding what to do. I won't get them damped because I love the stock Denon sound too much to risk it if I do get them. Do they improve the soundstage and SQ enough that it's worth $230? And how much heavier are...

I use a coaxial interconnect to connect my motherboard to my external DAC currently for audio. I'm wondering if I would see any benefit in purchasing an Auzentech Forte and used that as the transport with coaxial interconnect, or would it be redundant as I won't be using the gaming features of...

Hey guys, I have a pair of D5000s recabled with Moon Audio Blue Dragon, and I'm about to order an Audio-GD Compass to pair with them, using my PCs sound card as a transport. Now I'm curious as to whether or not with this system there is any point in getting expensive cables, or will I be able...

In the market for an amp/DAC and after initially (earlier today) having a budget of $700 I've decided to cut it back. I've heard excellent things about both these products, but I'm not sure which would be better. My headphones are Denon D5000s. Also, if I choose the Compass, which HDAM would...

Hey guys, picked up D5000s awhile back and I'm looking to pick up a nice amp to drive them. I have a budget of $350 and have no knowledge of pairing amps and headphones so I was hoping you guys would have some recommendations. Thanks for any help!

I'm in the market to buy a DAC and amp for my Denon D5000s, and I figured I'd ask about the DAC here. My budget is $350 for the DAC, and the setup will be as follows: Auzentech Forte -> Coaxial Cable -> DAC -> Appropriate interconnect -> Amp -> D5000 I will be using a coaxial cable for...

Hey guys, I'm ordering some custom cups from Lawton Audio soon, and free damping of the cups is offered. I'm not really sure what damping the cups would do, so I thought I would ask here. Do you guys think I should have them damped, or sent to me without damping?

Hey guys, first post here! I'm looking to spend a maximum of $1000 before shipping on an amp and DAC to complement my Denon D5000 headphones and Auzentech Forte sound card. I'll be connecting the DAC to the sound card with a coaxial cable so keep in mind the DAC can't just be USB (I want to...
