For a while I would use my Panisonic portable CD play. The quality was pretty good for me anyways. Just recently I purchases the Archos Jukebox Studio 20 MP3 player. I encoded most of my CD albums to Uberstandard quality rips. I'm told and from the sounds of it, the MP3's are in fact CD quality.
I quickly realised that the CD's that where riped and put on my MP3 player sound alot better on the MP3 player then they did on my portable CD player. I expected it to be the other way around.
I almost never use my portable CD player any more. I been thinking about buying a META42 amp. I even got some good price quotes from some DIY'ers.
All of a sudden all these things started comming up, the stock cable for my HD 590 headphones got damaged and now they need to be replaced. My computer is going on the fritz, etc.
Still, I kinda want a headphone amp, but I'm now starting to wonder if it will even do me any good. I'm thinking of getting a maxed out, tweaked out, on crack, META42. Thinking around $280-$320 or so will be the price I'll be spending. Also I'm using the Sennheiser HD 590 headphones.
So... is it even worth it?
