Hey all   I currently have an HRT MusicStreamer II > HK 3490 that feeds my speakers and a Fiio E17 directly connected to USB that feeds my AKG Q701s.  The mandatory Dolby processing from the headphone jack on my HK 3490 sounds artificial, I avoid it altogether.  The Fiio sounds decent, but...

Thanks for the input.   My narrowed list of considerations will include: HSU STR-1 Outlaw M8 Atlantic Technology SB-900 NXG NX-BAS-500

  Quote:     Specifically I was asking about the difference between the SB 1000 and PB 1000, which are listed as the same price.

Thanks for the feedback.   My listening room is rather small and for the type of music I listen to, I am looking for something that has tight and accurate bass, rather than boomy and powerful.  So a high quality 8" or 10" woofer would probably be best.   What is the difference in sound...

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the input.   I use the Music Streamer as a means of getting audio from USB to RCA.  It sounds great but not sure what the difference would be with the 3490 DAC.

Oh sorry I have a Polk Audio PSW10 sub.  Not really looking to upgrade that right now since I live in an apt building.   Source is foobar2000 w/ ASIO4ALL and mostly FLAC and high bitrate MP3.   Not looking to upgrade headphones at this stage either but have Grado SR80i for home use and...

Hi all,   I am using the following setup and wondering if anyone has suggestions for my next upgrade - I am looking for what will provide the best bang for the buck (highest % improvement in sound to $ cost ratio)   foobar2000 > HRT Music Streamer II (DAC) > Harmon Kardon HK 3490 > Polk...
