Hi guys !
<myLife>
A few weeks ago, on an impulse, I bought an ED 9 : i was tired of crappy sounded earphones, wanted one of the best. And I must say i have rediscovered sound. Even if it was only connected to my soundcard with a grado 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter.
Then i bought a Cowon X5 : very good dap on it's own, and i tryed to connect the Ed 9 on it : a lot better than with my mac.
So... i figure now that i need a real dac and an amp to make it give is best
.

I read this forum a lot, searched a lot and found a few things :
- Single audio products seems to be a very good choice ( but i'm getting worried with those warnings and the "where is m.." thread )
- HeadphoneAddict says that DV336i is very good, but seems to prefer the EF1 now
- WooAudio 6 with i-dont-understand modification is the best according to jamamoto8
- Rudistor's product looks quite not popular here, no real review since a long time, and just a thread about non possible specs.
In fact, i 'm completely lost for the amp. I don't know even a thing about amp: I've got a stock Ed 9 and about 1300 Euros for a amp . I want the best (sound quality side) amp as possible without recabling my Ed 9 (afraid to send it to usa...) . And Want to connect my mac/x5 to the amp directly, and next year to buy a good dac.
Any Ideas?
Thanks for help
PS : sorry for my (bad) english
PS2 : for the DAC i'm thinking of a MHDT havana : not very expensive but well rated on the net. good choice?
