Hi all;
I've been reading on these forums for a while, but here's my first post. I recently took the plunge and bought a pair of Grado sr80i's and am very pleased. People seem to be very split on whether low end Grados benefit much from amping (at least from what I can tell/have read). I'm looking for a DAC/amp that is fairly cheap with a few requirements (which is why I'm asking people who are more knowledgeable than I am. I have a macbook pro, which means I don't have a plethora of USB ports, but I do have this fancy digital output, so I was wondering if there any cheap DAC/amps that have a TOSLINK in and a wall power supply (instead of a USB power supply). And by cheap I'm hoping to keep it to $100 or under, though I suppose I could start saving now...
thanks in advance
