well i am curious about this because i might get the bithead for a portable amp and for my laptop rig.

i already have the LDII+ but my laptop soundcard is not great so im planning on an external sound card purchase. The bithead is nice because it is one component to use on two rigs. portable and laptop. i can use it as an amp for my ipod and an external sound card for my computer. 2 components in one.

My question is will having the LDII+ and bithead amp sound better than just the LDII+ on its own or will it simply add distortion to the sound?

2 amps.. probably not the best idea
just get a av-701, revolution 5.1 or a DAC?

I have both of these amps.

I'm happy with the bithead as portable with ipod and an amp/dac with laptop. I don't use my ld2+ as headamp lately, only as a pre-amp for my ipod interface to home theatre system.

would a good soundcard like the emu4040 fit in a laptop?

hmm this should be on the computer as source forum now but i cant be bothered making another thread
