    Which would you choose?

    Looking for an amp/DAC setup that is versatile for most headphones (high impedance driver and planars) and I could use for many many years. For now the headphone I use is the Alpha Dog, HD800 on shipping. Next buy at the end of the year will be HE-6 or LCD-3. Budget max 1500 dollars, Burson...

    Do Budget HDMI DACs Exist?

    I do not follow hi-fi audio so closely as I used to, but in three weeks both my iPod and DCM-280 have expired... I'm thinking it would be really nice to use the bitstream from my laptop's HDMI port -> DAC -> analog receiver / LDI+. Is this an option without spending many hundred dollars?

    Hey everyone, I have been trying to get the most out of my computer audio, and am curious about what the best connection from the computer to the DAC would be. I have an Emotiva XDA-2 (which just crapped out on me, one day in) - and have been considering a switch to a different unit. At the same...

    Hello fellow Head-Fiers, I am pretty new to the forum, but have been enjoying it immensely. I am a long time audiophile, but new to the high end headphone world. As I found relatively little information on the Emotiva XDA-2 DAC and headphone amp, I wanted to share my personal thoughts and...

    Well if any of you have been on this forum much for the past few weeks you may have noticed that I have been having some issues trying to get a decent DAC that WORKS. I started with an Emotiva XDA-2, which I personally thought sounded pretty amazing for a $250 DAC/HP Amp - but alas, it broke in...

    Head-fi journey/impressions from a newbie :)

    Hi everyone!   Part 1: Headphones?!   I've been lurking around for a year now, and I must admit that head-fi has been extremely useful with my purchases over the past year. So a bit of background, I first thought that headphones were for cheap people, and speakers were where it's at because...

    ESI Juli@ (XTE) -> Emotiva XDA-2 -> Bottlehead Crack OTL w/ Speedball Upgrade -> HD650?

    Hi,   I am finalizing on what I may need to have a decent rig for approximately $1-1.5k. So far, I figure I want a decent soundcard, which in my opinion tends to be the ESI Juli@. As far as a DAC, I'm looking at either the Emotiva XDA-2, the TEAC UD-H01, or the Schitt Bifrost. I'm pretty...

    Schiit Bifrost vs. Emotiva XDA-2

    Hi all, I have a question for anyone who has experienced the sound from these two devices. Which would you recommend as a DAC? I currently have the Bifrost and want to pick up a dedicated preamp...but the XDA-2 looks very attractive for the price. It certainly makes sense purchasing this...

    Need some help comparing amp output (Emotiva XDA-2 vs. Schiit Asgard)

    As a relative newbie to full-size headphones, I'm not very clear on the wattage/voltage/impedance relationships and how to evaluate different amps for my HE-400s.  I currently feed my cans from an Emotiva XDA-2 DAC/digital preamp, which has the following output from its headphone jack:   1.9...

    Emotiva XDA-2

    Does anyone have the Emotiva XDA-2 yet? It looks really interesting. It seems they have addressed the main concern with the XDA-1 which was the volume control. Also, it now has a headphone out and supports 24/192 via USB. If anyone has one, please post your impressions!    ...

    Emotiva Stealth DC-1 DAC

    Has anyone heard when this new DAC is due to be released, or any word on features/functionality? I'm thinking of purchasing the Emotiva XDA-2, but could be persuaded to wait for the pro DAC if there is a huge difference in sound quality and features.
