I've been fairly happy with the budget speaker system I put together for computer audio with the help of this forum:
Lossless music on iMac --> Musical Fidelity V-DAC (with Pangea P-100 power supply) via optical --> powered Audioengine A2s
Now I'd like to put together a headphone rig. I have some Grado SR60s I can start with and upgrade later, but I'm trying to figure out what else I'll need. A couple of different options occur to me:
If my goal is to start with something I can upgrade piece-by-piece later, what would you suggest?

Now I'd like to put together a headphone rig. I have some Grado SR60s I can start with and upgrade later, but I'm trying to figure out what else I'll need. A couple of different options occur to me:
- I've got an old Onkyo home theater receiver collecting dust that would certainly be capable of driving headphones. I'd just need to put it on a rack and either get another DAC for it or hook my current one up to the receiver and then use it to power the speakers too.
- I could start from scratch and get a dedicated headphone amp and DAC. I'm not sure what I would need to be able to connect both my current speaker system and a headphone system simultaneously, but that's what I'd like to be able to do.
If my goal is to start with something I can upgrade piece-by-piece later, what would you suggest?
