Just something simple and lightweight for walking-around use.

Several years ago, I picked up a pair of HD-650s and a Headroom Micro amp. Sounded pretty good. I never got too deep into can listening though, mostly used the setup outside on the deck whilst sipping a cocktail and the like.    Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when a friend won a pair of...

a DAC? I was at Goodwill looking through their electronics junk and there on the shelf next to some PCDP's sat a Headroom Total Airhead for $10. It's the old kind with 3 batteries. Perfect for my work setup. What I need next is a USB dac (CHEAP!) and I'll be on my way to a decent office rig...
