    Headphones as comfy as Bose AE2?

    Questions on assembled "DIY" DAC kits...

    I am quite sure that at least some of these kits were discussed here before, but the sellers usually only mention the sample rate and that it is a DIY kit, which is not really helping me to figure out which kit might be better then the other one. As you can probably guess by now, I am in search...
