Hey everyone,
I'm going into college and am looking for a solid setup for a laptop. I own the Shure SE530's and Total Airhead amp, but i'm looking for something non portable.
Here's what (i think) i've decided on:
Headphones: Denon AH-D2000
DAC: NuForce uDac
Amp: Little Dot MKV
Recable: APureSound V3
Ideally:
Laptop > USB into uDAC > RCA-RCA to LD MKV > Denon D2000 (recabled)
Since i'm on a budget, i was wondering if this is a good combination and if one had to be omitted, which would be the best choice?
I was thinking about ordering the cans and DAC and connecting the DAC to my Total Airhead..
Would the LD MKV provide a significant advantage over the Airhead?
Do you think recabling or buying the amp is a better idea?
I'm sure its obvious that i'm pretty new. I'd really appreciate any ideas/opinions you're willing to contribute.
Thanks in advance!
