Since I m on the market for a soundcard- I have >100GB full of uncompressed .wav in my PC-the Bithead seems like a fine solution : USB DAC and amp in a box .But 270$ for this small plastic box is not cheap I think…The amp part is not that important for me because I can easily build a mint meta with high specs for 60 euros(70$)And anyway the cans I m going to use or planning to get(Grado 225,ATH A900/A1000) don t need killer amps to sound good..It's the DAC part of the TBH I m interested: how good is it?I hope its better than a M Revo otherwise why spent almost 300$ when I can get a Revo for 1/3 of that?Or better still spent the money on a better SC.Given that the price difference between TAH and TBH is 70$ my guess is that the internal DAC/card is nothing special and not better than even the Revo.So why not get smth like M-Audio Delta line (the Delta 410 and Audiophile 24/96) or RME DIGI96/8 PAD?I ve hever heard these SCs myself but seems many people here like them.
