Simple enough scenario.
I have a PA2V2 headphone amp. (Don't really need any desktop/high end rigs).
Currently using it to drive A700's and XB700's via my computer. (High def audio 24/96 IDT for sound on my laptop).
What I'm wondering is if getting a $100 USB DAC (ex: NuForce Icon or the Fiio E7(dac/amp)) would improve the sound quality on this low of equipment?
Clarified.
Will a $100 DAC with a PA2V2 using entry level headphones add any noticeable sound quality boost/clarity boost?
