500+ Head-Fier
Hi everyone.
I'm really happy with my HE-560, but from some weeks now, i'm wondering if they are driven correctly. I have a Teac UD-503 which outputs 500+500mW on 32 ohms in unbalanced mode and 700+700mW on a balanced mode which requires a cable with double 1/4" plug. So i started figuring out what to do and i came to two options:
1) sell the teac and buy an audioGD NFB 28.38. The dac on the audioGD is considerably worse but the amp section far better. (i can't pair an additional amp to my teac because of space and money)
2) buy a balanced cable specific for the teac and take advantage of ud-503's full power.
what do you think?
First I heard or read that the AKM AK4490 dac in that teac is better that the Sabre ES9038pro in the audio gd.
