OK so now that the headphone category is done for me for awhile at least. And I looking at getting a Earmax Pro, boy do I have good taste.. lol..
The source is becoming the weakness. And we all know what that means.. Chris needs spend MONEY.. So anyways.. I would like to bring my "computer as a source" up to snuff. I am not sure what to upgrade to. Micro DAC is option over the current SoundBlaster "Audigy 2 ZS". (Gods know how everyone here LOVES Soundblaster).
So anyways what I want to know is. What is the upgrade in sound quality coming form the lineout of the Audigy 2 ZS. Is the USB to Micro DAC that much better. And how much better would a top of the line USB DAC compared to Micro DAC.
So in this corner we have Headroom vs. poope SoundBlaster
Audigy 2 ZS -> Headroom Micro DAC
vs.
Headroom (bottom of the line) vs. Players choice (something completely out of chris's price range)
Headroom Micro DAC -> (your DAC of choice)
So where is the bigger difference?
Is there a middle of the road one in price?
Thanks
and keep on rocking in the free world.
