Ok, this is tough having to ask these extremely basic questions but here I am doing it. You can see in my sig Ive been a portable guy but now I want a nice but not amazing system for my desk.
1 I purchased the LYR, do I need to go buy a power cable, if so where should I look and what type do I need. This question Ill ask them directly on monday after the holidays, I have already left them a message.
2 What is everyone using for a source. It appears to only have one set of RCA's on the back so Im assuming only one thing at a time.
3 Can you use a mp3 player as a source like a Zune HD from a dock or a J3 with a rca to mini plug? Or is this just a dumb Idea. I dont have any ipods btw.
4 Are there any dacs out there that will compliment the LYR in terms of sound and looks. Somrthing of similar size that I could stack underneath to save space or should I just buy one of these smaller and cheaper dacs? Will the Udac for example sound good good enough to justify the LYR.
5 Should I get any special cable for the path between the dac and the LYR.
6 Should I just get a nice CD player and Stereo, is that what most people do?
7 Basically, how do I optimize this set up?
Im going to have some DT880 600ohm headphones before I get the amp so you know what Ill be listening with here. But the T-1/ HD800/ LCD-2 are in my future, just not sure which ones yet. Eventually I think Ill have a Woo5 for my living room setup, but first the LYR to use on the desk.
