Just how good the STX II DAC is for my headphones?
So, lots of head-fi users (and me among them) are using STX\STX II as their DAC (as their source) for their headphones. I know that STX II DAC\AMP are very popular in here. But, how much actually this DAC\Source is good for headphones? Can it replace an USB DAC\AMP?- Rayz
