Headphoneus Supremus
ok so I was reading in the "list of all DACs ever" thread (amazing, amazing I say)
and I found this firestone DAC, the price looks very nice, and then I realized they make headphone amps, and the price on those looks very nice as well
so basically, I'm wondering if this is the holy grail of amp and DAC that i've been looking for
so far here's what I'm considering:
Firestone Cute Beyond headamp
Firestone Spitfire DAC
2x Supplier PSUs (one for each)
I know they have integrated USB DACs, but i'm not using it just for a PC, its also going to take the digital out from my CDP (mostly because, I can, and the price isn't so bad)
so, am I totally over-ordering here, or have I found what I've been questing after for some time (something that provides a decent amount of power, with no distortion, can take optical input, and isn't huge like a boat)
currently have: Denon AH-D2000 headphones, and a Sony CDP-X111ES transport, and I'm prolly buying a second pair of headphones in a week or two (haven't decided quite what I want quite yet, alas, thats another thread, but they likely won't be anything crazy to drive)
so, is this the right equipment for me, or can I ditch the Supplier PSUs, or one of them, or is this totally not going to do what I'm hoping for it to do?
