yes,John that will lead us to the old problem:european price....which i dont want to think any more. i've found some info anout it said the differences between 0202 usb and 0404usb are power secteur and dac chips.those dac upgrade perhaps we dont need but a 0404 is still twice price of 0202...

someone believe there's only "better" but no"best" in hifi(headfi).... so when you get into it ,just cant stop yourself improving,even pays 10times money for 1% upgrade

a sound card+dac1+amp,this is what i'm trying to do.and i think very convenient way,because we spend so much time before pc... cant give you exactly advise,i only have rs1,and never listen to gsk.for my experience,grado headphone has only 32ohm impedance,can easily be drived but just need a...

what about E-MU 0404 usb?

i'll vote for electrostatic for sure ,but must admit that dynamics have more potential,that means you need to put more bugdet into ampli/source,just my 2 cents
