Yeah, my $115 Super Pro DAC707 via optical from my macbook is a more detailed and spacious DAC, but via USB the EF2 is probably on par with the Super Pro USB DAC or 3MOVE DAC. It's like the difference between the DAC in the iBasso D10 or Pico vs the DAC in the 3MOVE or Predator - 2 different levels of performance, but I would say the lowest level still doesn't suck. One can be decent but there is always better out there.

I thought I wasn't going to get an amp until I acquired speaker stands that take up less space on my desk (or a bigger desk for that matter), but this thing is a little wonder. Perhaps I was a bit harsh, the internal DAC isn't that bad. It's great if you travel light as it works great as a means of giving you a direct line out from your computer, but for as little as 100 bucks on a decent DAC (diy DACs or a Fubar II) you'll see the true potential of the amp. Larry found a winner for us and I'm hoping when the time comes, the D2000s will be my last major Headphone purchase (waiting for another sale on Amazon). My ears thank head-fi, my wallet does not. |
