So, right now I'm in a bit of money jam right now. I was in the process of upgrading my rig, but I just learned today that my financial aid won't be coming in for two weeks. So, instead of using the money I was going to make selling some gear to help me pay for the dac, I have to use it to pay for rent and food for the next two weeks since I don't want to ask my parents for money since their budget has been a bit tight lately as well
. If I sell all the gear I have on me right now besides my K500, I should have at least enough money to buy a dac in the $100 range. After doing some research, I think the main contenders would be the Gamma-Lite and maybe an Audio Alchemy dac if one comes up. The Bantam DAC might be a possibility as well if there's not too much difference between the Gamma-Lite and a Bantam. I'm planning to pair the dac with a PPAv2 I have coming in from another head-fier which would be feeding a K500. The PPA is known to be a pretty transparent and ruthless amp though so I wonder if any of these options would be good for it and a K500. Thanks for the help, guys!
