I am (more then likely) about to pick up an M-Audio Dio 2496 from another head-fier to replace the onboard sound on my computer. In the process, I figured it would be a good idea to upgrade my little CMoy to a real headphone amp. The DiO has both digital and analog out and I was wondering if it would be worth it in my price range to get an amp/dac that took digital in.
I've never really messed around with digital audio so I don't know if what I'm describing is even possible or worthwhile. I really just want to drop the $450 on a WA3 and be done with it, but just three weeks ago I thought spending the $200 on the HD600's was ridiculous so I have to slow down and put it all in perspective. It's amazing how much your financial priorities change when you start buying headphone gear
