Hi everyone,
Noob in the forum, first post - be gentle! I am buying my first DAC+headphone amp and would really like to get a NFB-12. Problem is the NFB-12 doesn't have analogue inputs to listen to SACD in 2.0. Or should I not worry about that and just listen to the CD layer using the NFB-12 DACs? If I get the FUN it solves that problem... yet I'm still hankerin' for the NFB-12!
FUN
pro: analogue inputs, multiple digital inputs
con: single DAC
NFB-12
pro: dual DAC, digital inputs, better guts
con: only has digital inputs.
Am I correct in my assessment? Am I missing something vital here?
I'm planning to get either Sennheiser HD600 or 650's or Audeze lcd-2 cans, and I currently use Monster Miles Davis Tributes. I listen equally to classical, jazz, and classic rock.
Thanks in advance for any advice people have... including any main headphone recommendations in the $300-1000 range for my listening tastes.
