Hi...
I asked this question in the Hi-Fi choice forum, and was told that the best place to ask about these things was at Head-Fi. So, here I am, and to save some time I will just repost... Hope you don't mind!
________________POST FROM HI-FI CHOICE________________
I have decided to get a budget HiFi system without speakers. Instead I will use pretty good headphones (Philips HP-890), because my room (and my neighbours) makes "loudspeaker-HiFi" impossible. Furthermore it's cheaper, which is important to me...
Anyway. Here's some questions on the issue:
Is it possible to get good sound...
1. ...directly from a budget CD-players headphone jack (eg. Sony CDP-XE570)?
2. ...directly from a budget DVD-players headphone jack (eg. Samsung DVD-324)?
3. ...by combining any of the above with a budget stereo amp (eg. Sony TA-FE570) and using its headphone jack?
4. ...directly from a good CD-receivers headphone jack (eg. Denon UD-M30)?
5. ...from another budget solution? (<£250)
My definition of good sound is rather "maximum sound for the money", than "best quality money can buy", but off course quality is important... Otherwise I'd stick with my current Philips mini-combo...
All comments appreciated!
Thanks alot.
