Damm, I ordered Little Dot MK2 for my dt880 250ohm. This think looks wery compact compared to it. And has a built-in dac. Did I make a mistake?

I'm worried I wouldn't. |

I was confusing DAC with a Pre-AMP, for whatever reason in my mind, so it's strictly dual function in my case. I guess I'll have to look around a bit more and try and fight another more cost effective tube based amplifier. |

Do you need the DAC? With this you can plug in just about anything that makes sound (TV, CD, DVD, iPod, computer line out or headphone out, or plug ii into a PC USB port) - and then listen to it with the built-in headphone amp. You might even be able to use the 1/4" headphone jack to drive a bigger amp if you get the right cables or adapters (I even own an ALO Audio 1/4" to RCA cable). |
