i've been trying to slim down my system recently, and this is what i have so far:

PC (X-Fi)>COEM modded Lite DAC-AH>Porta Corda MKIII>DT880

i'm worried that i'm not taking full advantage of my DAC with my porta corda amp, and that adding the DAC-AH is pretty pointless. what are your thoughts?

Dunno; Hows it sound, slimed down and thin in the bass, would be my guess, especially for even a little piggy...lol

How does the Dead sound to ya, I bet you can hardly feel Phils prodigious bass lines, and that ain't right

'come on if ya gona play this silly game, give some details...Sheesh

The Porta Corda MkIII comes very close to the sound out of the SR-71. To me the SR-71 is on the top 3 portable amps so I think very highly of it and by inference of the Porta Corda MkIII.

However it is also my opinion that home amps as a norm sound better than portable amps because they do not suffer from PSU limitations nor the miniaturization problems. You may want in the future to save for a nice home amp.

Have to confess, once I got my mkiii, the music never stopped. Maybe that's a little overstated...

i've never heard the dead before... i guess i'll go look them up. btw, i love the setup so far. it sounds great: light but punchy bass, smoooooth midrange, and somewhat tamed trebles on my dt880s.

i should have gotten the USB mkiii, so i can A/B the mkiii DAC vs. my DAC-AH. just wanted to make sure the DAC-AH wasn't a waste.

the beauty is that you can save, sell and upgrade!
