Hello all.
I'm new here and I just picked up some Shure 840s and I love them. However I'm listening to them mostly at work and as we all know the sound cards or lack of rather since its all on board provided in work computer are well below sub par.
So I was looking at getting a portable amp for my work computer and whenever I'm on the go (exercising or just running around.) From what I read, I could be wrong, but will a DAC/Amp combo be the answer I'm looking for? Portable DAC/Amps can be used as basically a portable sound card correct? I just know that my on board sound at work isnt that great so i was looking for some options since i cant just add a sound card.
I was looking at maybe the Fiio E7 since its an amp and DAC and also portable. Maybe someone else here might have a better suggestion?
Price range is about $70-$80.
