Does a DAC use optical audio or PCM optical audio if it has provisions to use optical audio?
I got the idea I wanted a audiophile quality headphone system when after the second time I equalized my Plantronics 780 headset the audio sounded the best I have ever heard.

Little Dot DAC_I Review and Comparo
I've noticed a distinct lack of reviews on Little Dot's relatively new DAC_I and decided it was time that I give something back to the Head-Fi community and attempt to remedy the situation. I'm a long-time music lover and bad guitar player, but something of a junior audiophile. As such, I can't...- mastertrash

NuForce HDP (DAC only) vs. Little Dot DAC-I for Little Dot MK IV Amplifier
Hi guys, I recently bought a Little Dot DAC-I + Little Dot MK IV Amp, but the DAC-I was completely broken. Given all the rave about the NuForce HDP's DAC function (only talking about DAC/RCA output here as a preamp), how does it compare to the Little Dot DAC-I? Am I missing out on...- davisxu

Little Dot dac one? HRT Music Streamer Pro?
For anyone in the know what would you recommend investing in for the Little Dot lV SE? My Titaium HD is great for games but need something better for music. Somewhere around this budget and ideally something to override the sound card for music alone. Thanks :)- CardasHD650

I've been playing around with my Sony CD3000s a lot lately. Switching them between the various amps I have on hand I'm reminded of what a temperamental and amplifier dependent set of cans these are. They go from lush on the Woo to harsh on the Aural. As such, I'm suddenly curious what other...- IceClass
