Hi,
I've been looking at the Corda Aria and it looks like something I may be interested in. Currently, I'm running CDP->Musical Fidelity X-DAC->Dynalo->re-cabled DT880s.
Now, the setup sounds good but I find it a bit too polite and lacking in low-end punch at times. I plan on keeping the DT880s for now, but maybe adding k701, SA5K or RS-1/MS-Pro in the future. I am mainly looking for the Aria for it's amplification qualities but the USB DAC is a bonus since I will be using a PC as a source starting in the fall. Has anyone who's owned a Dynalo(or Gilmore Lite) comment on whether this amp sounds fuller than the Gilmore?
As well, my MF DAC is good, but not great. I was thinking about selling that and then using the Aria DAC until I get something high-end. Can anyone comment on the MF DAC vs the Aria DAC?
Thanks,
JMJ
