Curious - Head-fi is bringing out upgradeitis again!

Bump?

I really dont think price means anything as to the quality sound to an amp.
Take a look at what it takes to build some of these amps. Some dont cost all that much really, and sometimes a cheaper amp is as good or better than an expensive one.

Some people like the little C&C Box+ better than an RS71. There are people on this forum that have stated that. The RS71 is 3 or 4 times the price of the little C&C Box+.

So, hear it for yourself, and if you like the sound,features, and form factor, then forget what everyone else thinks and enjoy it.

I do use people opinions to narrow down some choices, like if the majority says something sounds terrible, but then in the end ,its my choice.

All im saying is, dont be afraid of modest priced amps. The Meier Headsix is modestly priced and has great ratings on head-Fi.

Thanks Drag0n.

I'm after a budget amp, as I have a limited budget. No other reason.

Since I'm not aware of a local shop with these to demo and also as the D2 is not a High Street mp3 player here, I have to base a lot of the decision on the recommendations of owners.

That said, the general endorsement of the Meier/D2 combination is comforting as long as it's from owners and therefore accurate. Not much point in buying an amp, however good it is, if it makes no difference to the D2 and 5 Pro/SR80 combination.

Cheers

The D2 pairs well with both the Ray Samuels Audio Tomahawk portable amp and the Meier Corda Opera/DAC. There are many fine amps but it would be hard to go wrong with either manufacturer ... and they both support our community.

I use to have a D2 amped with a Govibe which worked out OK but I currently use a Mini3 with a Cowon M5 and it sounds really good. This amp really is exceptional value and as regional luck would have it check out this link - http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f42/fs...ni3-eu-326459/

you have to be careful with the amp if it's going to be portable because ive heard that there are LESS powerful portable amps than the internal amp of the D2. It is probably the most powerful portable player out there.

I dont have a clue of whether it is true that the internal amp is hat powerful r how it compare to the most popular amps, i just heard some guys talking about that.
