I managed to get this pretty slick headphone bedroom setup with minimal cost to me. As follows:
Denon DCP-150 - I bought it when I was in high school, held on to it, had not idea it had such a killer digital out
Bel Canto DAC2 - a gift, sounds awesome with the Denon DCP
HeadRoom Supreme - last generation, without the front LED, but has the DIN connector, I could upgrade the PS (currently using the wall wart), someone gave it to me after they upgraded
Sennheiser HD-580 - on the cheap on ebay, only recent purchase for this setup
So.. I'm asking you experts on whether I should pump a little more money into the system on the amp end. Would it be worth the sonic imporvements? I'm a big time 2-channel guy, so the headphone stuff is secondary. I could see spending $200-400 if the sound improvement would be significantly better than the Supreme. Size is of importance, I want keep things on the night-stand.. don't want the GF freakin' out with my bizzare collection of black boxes in the bedroom (there are enough issues with the main rig).
Any feedback appreciated!! thanks!
