Just got AD8066 and LT1678 in the mail today.    Wow! I can't believe how much of a difference these little buggers have over the sound. The AD8066 is amazing! The LT1678 on the other did not impress me much. They both seemed have the same about amount of bass but the AD8066 sounded more...

I just got my D12 in the mail yesterday and it's my first headphone amp so I'm quite the amp dummy as well. Thank you both very much for the posts.   Just to add, the extra opamp they game me is a L49721. When I start looking to experiment with other opamps, what kind of factors to I need to...

I have a set of Shure SE 530's (36ohm) and looking to get a DAC/Amp combo or separate units. I'm pretty new to this and the choices have really overwhelmed me. Please help me and suggest a few units so I can at least get a more narrow selection.   My Requirements: -USB Input -accepts...
