No, DB2 is a very nice DAC. It is slightly better than the build in Solo Dac.
Agreed!
I did the fully balanced (CLAS>DB-2>PB-2>ES5 and LCD-2) verses single ended (CLAS>PB-2>ES5 and LCD-2) test and the DB-2 set up was better, both in terms of sound stage and detail retrieval. I did consider taking a drop in brick size but not for long....
Running in the CLAS->DB2->SR71B setup using iBuds (yes) 24 hours non stop now. Using balanced output for the iBuds via a balanced to SE connector. Stay tuned.
And this arrived too. It's going to replace the iPhone 4 and become part of the rig.

Really, CLAS single ended into SR71-B is better than the CLAS->DB2->SR71-B. Very interesting.
I just got a pair of double helix headphone adapters so I can use my LCD-2 cable (w/balanced SR71-B output) with my HD800's. I'm really liking the HD800's. Just mentioning this because it's now possible to invest in a really GOOD headphone cable and then use them on multiple headphones. I have the universal cable from ALO with a number of adapters.
Anyway, it's interesting to me how versatile the CLAS is, and now I can test it with all of my headphones.
Things have changed since I burnt in the cables and the DB2 for more than a week now. Now I prefer the balanced combo more.
