The D1000 do that. Not the macbook. Maybe I misread you reply. I thought you said using the macbook's amp/DAC. Sorry for the confusion.


I'm saying he's using the headphones...

I'm really interested in these 'phones, as I have a new Macbook Pro and a hankerin' for some great sound. It's been a few months, so what do you think?

I'm pretty curious, too.

Yep. Curious.

(There's an even more obscure brother set of cans that plugs into the USB port of a computer and otherwise seems to do the same thing. I found it on the Audio-Technica site in Japanese only. Has its own software etc.)

Haha wow, wait.

Do you actually know what upsampling does or how digital to analog conversion works?

I had seriously considered those at one point, but at the time all I had was a Macbook or home DVD for optical out. Now I have THREE Sony pcdp with optical and an iRiver H140 (my H120 died and I got a refund 6 weeks later).

I instead decided on a seperate DAC/AMP like and got the iBasso D1 instead. The advantage is I can roll opamps in the iBasso and ALL my headphones/earphones benefit.

The good comparo would be the iBasso with ATH-D900 vs the D1000. For about the same price you can either have a smaller package or a more versatile package, but what about the sound?
