not going for portable...(headsix-pa2v2-mini-Ibasso)
Budget below $180
I was eyeing the Little Dot MKII...
All I have right now are
Grado sr80
AD700 (new..still burning in)
HA-RX700
Fiio E5

I currently enjoy my toslink to receiver connection for home
and Ipod to fiio e5 setup with the grados...

I wanted to get a Little Dot (for home)and read that someone had a even more pleasurable experience
with his AD700s. I also wanted something that Im going to enjoy for years to come...and not get the upgradititis that some people get from this forum...
so am I headed in the right direction with the LD II?

edit-ive read the fact that AD700s dont need and amp coz of low impedance.

Dude get a Cute Beyond! It's only $180 and it's not portable.

Buy yourself a Frankenmod Zero from one of the Head-Fiers who may want to sell theirs or build you one.

^^^looking at them now...thanks
I just wonder the difference of tube amps vs these (no knowledge)

btw...what improvements has the CUTE done for your D2000?

omg...24v
so I guess I have to buy a 24v psu

 

[Byrnie]

it comes with a built in p/s but the separate one improves the soundstage even more. i would just do it in steps:

step 1 get the amp
step 2 get the separate p/s

ok seems like Ill keep an eye open in the FS section...hope somebody sells me a Cute Amp...for cheap

thanks!
