Hi folks!
I'm about to buy a pair of monitor headphones (don't know yet what), a tube headphone amp and also a pci audio interface like M-Audio Audiophile 2496 or E-MU 1212m, which are know for they processing capabilities, and I don't if it's still mandatory to have a DAC connected between the audio interface and a tube amp for the monitor headphones.
What do you think? Is wasted money?
If it's not wasted money, what DAC should I buy for that config? Mainly is for monitoring music and relaxed hearing. I think the Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1 would be a good option.
Thanks.
Best regards!
