I currently have Ultrasone pro 900's.
I'll be buying a DAC and an amp. Maybe a combo like the icon HDP or Compass. Not sure.
I'll also be buying some monitors and a sub. M-Audio sbx10 sub and bx5a deluxe monitors.
I really like the style of Nuforce's speakers, but they're overpriced for what they do(in my unknowing opinion). So i decided to go with m-audio and have a bit to spend on them.
For an amp, i will be getting a headphone amp and speaker amp. I was wondering if Nuforce's amps/DACs were of good quality/price. The Icon HDP is very new and as far as i've seen has only had two people from head-fi use it. Its a DAC/Amp/preamp. So i've been leaning towards getting the Icon HDP and the Icon Amp. But i would like to know if i'd be wasting my money or if i should be investing into a different product.
Earlier, i was going to buy the audio-gd compass. But i decided the Icon HDP was more expensive and newer and had a more tech-look to it which may mean quality. So i'm quite open to suggestion as you can see.
However, the amp MUST be SS. I really don't even want to try a tube amp. Not my thing.
TIA!
