Need help deciding what to do.
So, soon I will be doing a purchase on my first decent portable rig. I have been wondering if a S:Flo2 -> $150 - $200 Amp -> RE0's will sound worse/equal/better than S:Flo2 -> Audio Technica CK10's.

Valab Nos vs Audio Gd FUN
So, I was thinking of getting a DAC mainly for my speakers (Yamaha HS-80M). I've heard great things about the Valab Nos. But, I thought, why don't I just get a Audio GD FUN and use Line Out to my speakers. That way I could have a temporary headphone amp until my big leap (Ref1/7 and Pheonix)...- TrumpOrMonkey

Best sounding netbook for source.
I'm looking for a Netbook under $500, it will be used 100% of the time for music source. I will be adding an M2Tech HiFace to it.
