Ok, recently bought Sennheiser HD595 and are hooking them up to my MacBook Pro (MBP). I'm happy with the combo (compared to older and simpler Sennheisers) so far but I have money to spend on better gear.
Any recommendations?
I guess I have these main alternatives:
1. MBP USB -> USB DAC -> AMP -> HD595
2. MBP Optical out (SPDIF?) -> something -> HD595
Are there other alternatives? What should I get for alternative 2?
I have been thinking about the E-MU 0404 USB since I might need a Midi and mic interface in the future. But then I read that the E-MU 0404 USB was not so good a combination with easy-driven cans as the HD595. Any experience with that combo?
A bonus would be a solution that I can also use on the run (with my IPhone 3G). The only multisolution I've found is the Total Bithead which is both USB DAC and mini-to-mini amp solution.
Helpful for ideas. Thanks!
