Just wanted to find out if the IV/IVSE is really that much better than the III. I have $200 to spend on an amp, but would be willing to fork out more if it is truly worth it.
For reference my setup will be MBP----> HeadRoom Portable Micro Amp with DAC (using the line out)--->(LD III/IV)--->D5000
Current Prices are $195 for the III, $289 for the IV and $389 for the IVSE
So basically, If I can get 90% of the IVSE performance with the III for half the price, that's the way I'll be heading.
Edit: I guess its also worth mentioning that if I get the III I still have cash left over to get some Markl mods done to my D5000 (chasing tighter bass, forward mids, cleaner highs)...
Thanks
Phil
