Hi there,
I`m a newbie here, and learning to be an audiophile
My question is about your experience and impressions who owns the old good NAD sterio amplifiers.
My setup is:
1. Asus Xonar D2x >>> 3.5mm to RCA connected to NAD c352 >>> HD650 or Denon ah-D600 (+Monitor audio RS8)
2. Asus Xonar D2x >>> Optical Toslink cable to DacMagic Plus >>> HD650 or Denon ah-D600
In this scenario i`m only interested your impressions about DacMagic (plus or 100) headphone output VS NAD headphone output.
was testing with many songs with FLAC quality and i really can`t tell you the difference, NAD even could play "louder" than dacmagic, but at same volume level its damn same. Always listen as much as possible at default.
Maybe DacMagic Plus have a little bit less noise level than NAD. But does that worth £350?
Ok, you can tell me buy the HEADPHONE AMP like fiio E9, i tried it too. And NAD c352 sound better than fiio e9..
i will buy the leads from DacMagic Plus to connect dac to NAD and test NAD headphone out when. Will see will that make any difference.
Mostly was testing this songs in FLAC quality.
