Been looking into this and I've been wondering how this pairs up with the HD650 as an all-in-one solution. I'm currently contemplating whether or not I want just the Quattro or to purchase the M-Stage with a standalone DAC (possibly the V-DAC?).
How is the internal amp in the Quattro? Do you feel there can be much improvement made by a standalone amp such as the M-Stage?
Or I'm possibly flirting with the idea of a D100 to save some money.
I'm almost in the same position as EraserXIV. Even if this Quattro DAC is over my budget, and since I'm planning to upgrade to an M-Stage and a HRT MS2 DAC (and a good RCA stereo cable to connect both), maybe I should wait some more time, save some money, and the go straight to this all-in-one solution, don't you think?
I've got both the DAC and AMP running through RCA interconnects as i wait for the XLR interconnects from tamaudio.
I do get ever so slight background noise which i dont think is associated with the source and i dont hear it running through the DACs headphone out. Not a big issue as i rarely hear it
Do you think my RCA interconnects could be the issue and would the XLR interconnects help or be an improvement over the RCA?
That would make sense to me. But then again the separate purchases could be spread out over time, making it easier to build the system. So it kind of depends on your ability to squirrel away money. What headphones will you be using? that might be the determining factor. I think M-Stage is going to do better with more difficult to drive models.
