A (better/good) DAC to get quality signal. A (better/good) amplifier to power the headphones.
Curious about the pairing, I just picked up a pair of HE-500's and will be investing in a Emotiva mini-x. and one of the audio gd products looked tempting as a DAC.
I'm guessing OP has combo now. How do you like it?
Thanks for the quick update on this oldish thread glad to hear it, so far i have a 0404 on it's way ( a suggestion from LFF) eventually I will upgrade and for now this is the way I will go i think, unless another better ''budget'' DAC comes out within the next 6 months, might upgrade cables and amp first then look at new DAC to replace the 0404 but I think it will be good for a while as it seems to have a great and uber silent DAC in it (It just happens to be ugly)
I just ordered a MiniX for my 5LE. The Kyr sounded alright but not fantastic. The Burson Soloist sounds good but it's congested because it lacks power for the cans.you think he MiniX will satisfy me?
If it works well, I might end up getting a speaker amp for maybe more like$500 because I know that's all I will be thinking about haha, KT-120's
So DACs would be need if I wanted to use said headphones on a PC?
