Hey All.
I purchased a pair of JH-13's, and I'm looking for the best upgrade at the current moment. I've done a lot of research on the JH-13 Appreciation thread, but there wasn't a posting about the single best upgrade.
I previously purchased a Mini^3 Amplifier and Gamma DAC combo, but the Mini^3 needs work due to issues outputting in stereo, and I get a lot of hiss from my MacBook Pro -> Gamma DAC. My main source is an iPhone 3G, and I also have an iPod 5.5 Gen that I may consider converting to a DIYMod if that's the suggested course of action.
At this point, I'd like to spend around $300 in this stage, $400 including interconnects. I'm debating between the following:
+ ALO Rx Amplifier
+ TWAg Headphone Cable
+ Some other DAC / Amp combo. (Styleaudio Emerald DAC/Amp, but it's 1/4")
I'd appreciate any advice, thanks in advance!
