Ok, this is one of my first posts on Head-Fi so I realize this question could come off a little stupid, but I just wanted to get some opinions.
I just recently purchased a pair of Sennheiser HD600 headphones and am now stuck in a rut in figuring out what DAC and/or amp to purchase.
I currently own an Audio Technica AT-HA20 amp so I am wondering if I should stick with this, possibly buy another amp down the road and buy the Zero Dac for a source, or whether I should go for something like the Meier Corda Cantate with has is an integrated DAC/amp system. I also mainly listen to music from my computer so I was also wondering whether the usb out on the something like the Cantate would compare to a portable usb converter like the Xitel MD-Port DG2. I am looking for the best possible combo for good sound and I've narrowed it down to these two options.
If it helps, I listen to (in this order): jazz, hip hop, classical, and electronica.
