Hi guys,
After leaving Minidisc behind in 2009 and wanting a better sound, I'm aiming to get a Fiio X3 later this year to use as a DAP & DAC/amp for my PCs (maybe not my main PC with it's SB Audigy 4 card) to drive my Grado SR60s.
Of course it's likely in that I'll want to get an amp with a bit more oomph and I'm wondering if it's worth digging out my old NAD C320BEE integrated seperates amp out of storage just so I can drive my phones OR for a similar price, would a more recent dedicated desktop or portable headphone amp be a better investment?
Thoughts and experiences welcome.
P.S.: Just spotted the O2+ODAC which can be DIYed (very tempting for an electronics engineer like myself
).
