I'm a big fool I followed my little cousin's word over yours sorry guy. I'm guessing the Gilmore Lite is better than the OBH-21 and CKKIII by the way you defended it, no?

Some people from the computer source forum reffered me to ask amp questions here. So I'm starting my first setup, but I plan to not be cheap and have a great experience . So far I already plan to or already have a: Source: Desktop, Foobar with KS or ASIO, (WAV or FLAC) Phones: Sennheiser...

For the Amp itself I'm willing to spend $250-$300, but if there's an Amp that's better that's lower than this range I'll still buy it. Oh and I have my heart set on the Micro DAC, so something which works best with this DAC. Garr I hope I get this setup ready soon, can't wait to be hearing what...

Alright, but doesn't the usb produce more jitter because the usb bus and the cpu can't work that fast or something? Oh and does an iPod's line-out beat every other output in a portable player? I was looking at Headroom's Micro DAC and I was wondering if the Hornet would be a superior amp...

Hey people I need help with my first setup, I plan to go all out on my first one so I need experienced audiophiles to help me in my purchases. The setups I have made are below but I don't know much about DAC's or non-portable Amps, mind reccomending me some? At Home ------- Hp's -...
