i was planning on purchasing the A5+ but have decided on the m-audio bx5 d2 for half the price. because ill be listening to mp3 files i want to get a dac that will make it less revealing as i understand they reveal everything. any recomendations? i like the ODAC but im thinking its not going to...

Im new to "high" end audio (high compared to the average $40 speakers from walmart). I am looking to create a bookshelf speaker system to run from my laptop where it will be mostly mp3 files (i mostly listen to alternative such as the black keys or the neighbourhood but i like acoustic as well)...

whats a good closed back headphone for under 300. I currently have a fiio e& but plan on purchasing the O2+ODAC. so what headphone would be a good pair for this. i listen to mostly alternative rock and acoustic. any help greatly appreciated

deciding on some headphones- i think i might get the DT 880's. i will power them with an ipod and a fiio e7. should i get the 30 or 250 ohm version?

Alright im sure there has been a ton of posts on this... but nothing i have found really helps. im looking to buy my first pair of descent headphones somewhwere between 200-300 posibly even $350 if i feel its worth it. i have a fiio e7 amp already. i mostily listen to alternative rock, and rock...
