Hey all,

I recently purchased an Audio-Technica ATH-AD900, which I run out of onboard sound on my laptop. It was an improvement over my other pair of cans, but I can't help but feel like I could improve the sound a bit.

Hence, I've decided to purchase a cheapo integrated DAC/Amp that would synergize with the AD900. I'm currently thinking of a $200 budget, or is that not good enough?

Options I have considered include:
EMU 0404 (I heard this wasn't as warm, I wonder if it will synergize)
Fubar III
Hifiman EF2 (Heard the amp was good, DAC ok, and whether the AD900 will benefit from a better source vs a better amp).

I am of course open to other options, especially any that have been tested

hmm possibly. Hoping to get something more widely available though - I'm a little too lazy to deal with ebay =P.

Has no one tried these DAC/amps in combo with the AD900?????

I'm using the Nuforce uDac with my AD700's, very nice.
