I am currently looking at buying, but staying under $1500 (after adding shipping & cables & accessories, but not tax).
The two options I'm considering are the Ultra Micro DAC with Micro Amp -OR- the desktop amp with Home DAC. (& ~ $350 for headphones....meaning either D2000s or 650's)
I will connect via optical for either.
Since my source is a laptop playing 16/48 files, I'm currently leaning towards the micro setup because of the superior DAC, but that means missing out on the superior "home" amplifier module in the desktop amp.
Setting aside other issues (like connectivity and volume controls etc), has anyone heard one/both of these setups or similar? Even if you haven't, can you think of a reason to pick the desktop setup over the micro setup mentioned above?
Thanks in advance,
