Ok. I've gave careful thought into my laptop sound and i think i'll settle for either of the following seup:
Setup 1: Laptop USB -> USB soundcard (DAC) -> mini hifi -> Headphone amp -> MS1
Setup 2: Laptop USB -> USB soundcard (DAC) -> MS1
Is anyone using this sort of setup? For setup 1, will the long chain from the source to the final product (headphones) degredate the sound?
For setup 1, i'm planning to get either a M-audio transit or sonica. I've heard that the sonica and transit aren't really good amps for headphones so that's why i'm putting them through another headphone amp via my mini-hifi, through which i can enjoy the music through the speakers too.
For setup 2, i think i'll most probably get a M-audio audiophile USB, through which my MS1 will be plugged directly. It will also be connected to my hifi from the analog out.
All in all, i would like to listen to my music from both speakers and headphones.
Opinions anyone?
