    DAC/AMP for Audio-Technica M40x

    Two weeks ago i bought my first 'closed' headphones Audio-Technica M40x (for 120$ in my country). By that time I already had iBasso DC02 and pair of in-ear headphones TRN V90. And my new M40x very disappointed me. I was hoping to get wide soundstage and more 'deep' sound, but my TRN v90 (~35$)...

    Replacing Ayre CODEX -- Any recently introduced DAC/amps impressing you?

    A few years back, at least one reviewer favorably compared the Ayre CODEX DAC/amp to other makes running upwards of $5,000 (and, the dealer claimed he unit also bested Ayre's higher priced models). I paired the unit with some Cardas A8 ear speakers in balanced mode and experienced a seriously...

    Do combo amp dacs provide a better value than 2 discrete units?

    Do I get more bang for my buck by buying an amp dac combo instead. For example instead of getting a $100 amp and a $100 dac would I get better sound quality by spending $200 on a combo (for example an audioengine d1). Also if you do get more bang for your buck combo recommendations under $250...

    Best dac/amp combo under $250

    My original plan was to drop $100 on an amp now and then later once got more money I would drop another $100 on a dac. I was talking to an audiophile friend who was saying that I shouldn't completely discount dac/amp combos because they do have some benefits (less opportunities for noise...

    Portable balanced DAC/AMP with AES/Ebu input?

    With the incoming new xDuoo X10T MKII digital transport I'm looking for a balanced DAC/Amp with AES/Ebu input to pair with the transport unit. AES not being a common feature on portable devices, any help and recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    ifi Nano idsd portable dac vs the TA-01 with golden lion tube.

    The Nano BL doesn't give as much power as the TA-01 but I've heard that the Nano competes with the mojo in sound. The golden lion tube is said to drastically increase the quality of the ta-01 which also has the cs4398(I think) dual dac.
