Hi,
Im fairly new to this scene so I will try be a bit straight forward.
I have recently purchased a k 702 and have an EF-1 220v amp arriving in less then a week. Ive got a budget of around $300 but i can manage a bit more if really needed.
It would be excellent if anyone could recommend any DAC's which would be great in compatibility with this setup and give me good sound for my money. I will most likely be running this through my computer the majority of the time.
Cheers

I liked the Moodlab Concept, nearly as good as my Havana it was.

My K701s sing with Mhdt Paradisea 3+. It's a bit over your budget if new, but you may look for s/h one.

Cheers,

Well I wil be sure to check both of them out and I'll get whatever I think fits what I need. The help on this site is just fantastic so thanks.

The paradisea got great reviews but it is quite a bit out of my price range. My question now is can i go wrong with a Constantine? It appears to be good aswell and fits perfectly in the price range.

I haven't listened to Constantine, but giving that all Mhdt products get very good opinions, you can't go wrong with it

You missed the Paradisea 3 Limited Edition which I just $OLD recently. It was a performer till I received a Havana. And best of all the Paradise 3 I previously owned was housed in a metal case with silk brushing aluminum plates similar to the Havana.

I was considering ordering the constantine and i read a post about it not having a great usb input and sound being greatly affected by this. Hmm, this is difficult. I will look around a little bit more but atm i am even considering saving for a paradisea but i won't have that kind of money for another 2 weeks.

Usually it's better to wait a moment or two to save money and buy something better. And trust me, Paradisea is really that good

Cheers,

Having Paradisea you won't be interested in leaving your room, so the gps will be useless anyway

I am happily using a Parasound DAC 1000 with the dac chip upgraded to PCM 63 KY grade. It was still very decent with the stock J grade though.

Ok now im in a little bit of a dilemma. I just about have all the funds for the paradisea 3+ but can anybody confirm whether it comes with a power cable or usb cable?
I think I will need both and thats an extra $90US

It comes without cables. However, you may use any computer USB (A to B) and power cable, these will cost much less than 90 USD and will have no detrimental effect on sound quality. In fact, they will sound exactly the same.

Nice, Im sure I had a similar one I used for the PS3.
Thanks very much for that information, and i know i have that kind of usb cable from my scanner.
