I'm planning on running grado 325is's. Good combo?

I chose the amp based on the price, and the fact that it was suited well for low impedance phones. And the dac based on the amazing reviews.

Also, tell me if I'm right about this:

1) I would use a usb cable to connect the dac to my computer.
2) Use rca audio cables to connect the dac to the amp.
3) Plug amp + dac into wall
4) Connect headphones
5) Enjoy

Is that how I would hook them up?

These are the cables I'll be ordering:

Amazon.com: Monster THXI100-4NF THX Certified RCA Stereo Cables (4 feet): Electronics

Amazon.com: Belkin Gold Series 6-Foot USB A to B Device; 20/28 AWG; DSTP: Electronics



And btw, this is really pushing my budget, so keep any recommendations within the price range. Thanks!

THANK YOU for the unknowing suggestion!

Nice set up. The V Dac will give you a nice polish to the sound as well as the Little Dot amp. Thumbs up

I use that exact set up in my main system and they work well together IMO.
I'm happy with them ,for now, anyway. Ho Hum.....
