What do you think about this chain?
PC ==> SPDIF ==> Ultracurve DEQ2496 ==> SPDIF ==> Asus Xonar Essence One ==> Headphones
The main idea is to use a Digital EQ to use 1 DAC/Amp for all Headphones I'm gonna buy in the next years. If a headphone doesn't pair well with the Essence One I can simply make it a little bassier or brighter by using the digital eq.
Is there any other cheap (<700$) DAC/AMP combo that could surve this purpose? I plan to buy high impedance headphones (HD 800,T1) and low impedance headphones (CIEMs, Q701, ...).
I would love to hear what you think about it.
Have a nice day
