That looks awesome. The one thing is that I was looking at an avr cause it'll give me volume control with a remote. Is there any other way to have remote volume control?

Thanks guys for your help! I think after some research I'm going to go with a Cambridge Audio Azur Receiver? Looks like it has the quality and value I'm looking for. What do you guys think?  ...

I was wondering if there was any like the Chase RLC-1 out there? I wanted something to control the volume out of a DAC/pre-amp with a remote. I plan to also connect a tv/blu-ray along with my music and would love to have a remote. Hopefully the audio won't be effected by it. Something affordable...

Do you guys have a receiver that you'd suggest for a newbie with digital inputs? Something like that AMP-100?

I'm fairly young at 23. I know they're not the greatest speaker, but they do the job for me at the price I got them for. I would say my budget is at the very most 300? 

So after a bit of research I think that the http://www.mav-audio.com/base/product/tube_magic_d1 The Maverick D1 DAC is what I need? Seems to have all the input/outputs I need at a very good price.

Hi, I have a set of Klipsch Promedia 2.1's and was wondering what the best way to connect them to my tv and computer. I looked at the Creative DDTS-100 which many people seemed to suggest, but they don't make them anymore. I guess I'm in need of a DAC or a receiver? I'm still new to all this...

If that is your only worry then you should check out the fs mod for the super.fi's. I was worried about that too but apparently they are much more comfortable this way and discreet.

I'm not sure about the Klipsch, but I was in a similar search as yours and ended up just ordering the Super.fi 5 pros. From what I've read you can even get the Shure olive foamies on them for comfort. They seem to be highly regarded a great value for price. I got mine for 189.99 and 20% cashback...

I was wondering if there was a portable amp out there that balances the A900. I finally ordered them and can't wait til they come. From what I understand the A900 has a problem with the treble and mids?

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much HeadphoneAddict

Cool be sure to let us know your opinions!

So I'm guessing nobody has heard both the Pico and D2?

I will be keeping an eye on this forum cause I'm planning to get the ath-a900, but I would also like information about portable amps to if oldson doesn't mind me sharing the thread.

It could be used as a portable DAC for a laptop or umpc possibly?

I think a big reason that I'm looking at the comparison is because of the huge price different. They seem to be similar not having heard either, but thats I'm wondering if anyone has done a comparison. I think that a lot of people on head-fi want to know if the Pico is worth the extra 300. If it...

Haha exactly.

Yes I do understand that the Pico is so much and that is just the reason I'm trying to find a comparison to the D2 to see if the Pico can justify the price. I also wanted to know if either would be a good fit for the A900.

As I understand it the iBasso D2 amp/dac is finally out so I was wondering if anyone knew how it compared to the Pico. I would love to get a dac for my computers and I figure an amp couldn't hurt. I am planning to get the ATH-A900 very soon as I play games and have a very broad taste in music...

Sounds good thanks for your help. Are the A1000 pads more comfortable or something? Oh and I was wondering if something like the Pico amp/dac or the Basso D2 a good fit for these headphones. I wanted something that would both be a dac and a amp because it would be more versatile for me.

Hey, I have decided to go for the ath-a900's cause I need a good closed pair of headphones and I like to play games/watch movies on top of listening to music so I thought that these would be a very versatile pair. As for music I listen to a little bit of everything, but mostly alternative and...

I was wondering if anyone had a step by step guide on how to recable headphones? Or like a website explaining how to do it if I got the wire from the ebay seller? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just new to this and I don't want to open up my headphones to mess it all up lol.

I was wondering if it was hard to open the triports up without damaging anything and if anyone had a guide.
