Hi I was wondering what would be a good dac/amp for me to buy. I'm looking for a portable dac/amp that can be used with a laptop and desktop and I have ~$200 to spend.   I've been considering the following: Audinst HUD-MX1 FiiO E7+E9 uDAC FiiO E11 A majority of my music is either...

I was in the market for a new headphone amp, and I was wondering whether or not to keep my MBox2 in the signal line for it. In other words, get a DAC/Amp like BitHead, or keep using the MBox as the DAC and just get an amp, like the AirHead. Which will produce higher-quality results?   If...

Best Amp/DAC under or around $100 for FostexT50 RP (modded) and Denon D2000? Audio gd NFB-12 and FiiO E10 come to mind. Also interested in new FiiO E17. Thoughts?

Hello All, I am trying to decide weather to buy a Burson HD160ds, or upgrade my existing Matrix M Stage that has already been updated with the latest op amp, that  was discussed on the Headphonia web site, with a Peachtree DAC IT. Will the Burson sound that much better?  I have read that the...

Been looking into getting the E7+E9 combo as a cost effective way to get a clearer audio stream. Downside is, the majority of my audio is in 320kbps and it is not feasible to upgrade it to FLAC at this point. The loss of quality in my FLAC compared to my non-FLAC library is.. annoying, so I...

I recently got the AKG q701's as my first high quality pair of cans, and all I can say is WOW. Never realized how much better these make everything sound. Although getting power from my iPhone isn't ideal. I also am currently looking to buy a pair of beyerdynamic dt770's. It's quite hard to find...

Using RE0 with an Ipod Touch, would an amp/dac combo like the D-Zero, sound better than a dedicated amp like the cMoyBB using a line out dock? I'd like a better sound quality overall.

I have the Ultrasone HFi-780s and they're currently hooked up to just an amp, still using the sound card from my laptop. I would like to get a DAC/Amp combo but I don't want to spend a whole lot, not anymore than $80. If you have suggestions, please let me know. Would it really make all that...

Hi all,   With the help of the community here, online research and some listening tests at some local shops, I've decided the AKG Q701 is probably going to be my first full-size headphone in a while, though I am still toying with the idea of picking up a pair of Grados instead.   I've...

So I finally found for the DAC+Amp I was looking for! It meets all my conditions: has optical in, large stereo jack out. Even more, it also has an AMP!   http://www.firestone-audio.eu/shop/products/allproductslisted/fubar4.php  ...

Hi, I've just recently brought a set of Sennheiser HD598 headphones and I've been reading that you generally need to get an amp to fully take advantage of the headphones.      I'm a audio noob so just bear with me for a minute. I plan on using the headphones on my desktop computer and...

Hey guys,   Asked a similar question in the PC audio section, but I don't think I'll get too much out of there in regards to a variety of opinions (Although what I did get was good!)   I currently own HD595s. Very good headphones, I love the sound they give out. However, I want to...

Also is Amazon the cheapest place to buy the headphone and amp/dac?  I don't know much about headphones and I'm ready to upgrade from my crappy klipsch image one headphones to the sennheiser 650s.  I don't plan on upgrading the headphones and amp/dac for at least 10 yrs so please recommend me a...

AKG Q701 NuForce Icon HDP Amp/Dac Laptop: Asus G73SW-A1 Foobar2000 (Wasapi, FLAC: 24bit/44.1-96kHz) Music Taste: Beatles/Pink Floyd/Classical (in order of preference)   I'm thinking about upgrading. I love listening to the Beatles. Especially now that I found the USB 24bit/44.1kHz...

Don't think this has been done, so I want to start it since I recently got a K702.  Want to know what members of this forum are using currently with their x70x so that newbies like myself or other's looking to upgrade can see what is available and work best.  What I would like is a reply with...

I had the GS Solo (which version, I am unsure of) and I later purchased the T1 Frankly speaking, I am not a fan of this combination... I am a bit broke at the moment (recently purchased T70P) My budget being somewhere between 600-1000. So rather than upgrading my amp I thought I would...

  I've been saving some money for quiet some time and finally i saved enough to buy sennheiser hd 800. I know its quiet demanding on amp and dac so im lost there pretty much. I need a suggestion which route should i take. I have to say that this is going to be my first high end audio setup. It...

Hey guys! I know this question comes up a lot on this forum, but from my very limited knowledge of amps and DACs some work for certain headphones more than others making this a pretty reasonable question.   So I have an Alessandro MS1i and a Sennheiser HD598 that I've been listening to out...
