Hi all,

Been scanning the forums for quite a while now, done a fair bit of research and reading. What a great bunch of peeps we have here, so first of all hi everyone

I just got back to the UK from HK this morning, to my surprise was a parcel with my new pair of Alessandro MS1. Currently running them in and already pretty damn impressed since I was using a pair of Philips SBC HP840 before.

I was only in HK for 1 day so didnt get much time to go demo any gear.

Would like a couple of pointers/opinions on what I should spend my money on.

Current setup,

PC(onboard nforce2)>optical>Yamaha RX-V640RDS>MS1

option1 - Buy Zero DAC/headphone amp

option2 - Buy Keces131 and LDMKIII

Main question I want to ask is am I going to notice a massive improvement on sound quality if I go with either the options above. Does a specialised dedicated headphone amp and DAC really bring out the full potential of my new cans?

Ady

Pretty much anything will run the MS-1s, so I'd suggest focusing on source (DAC) first, then the amp. There are threads on both DACs here, though I don't know if anyone has compared one against the other. Take some time to read through the big threads on each.
