Headphoneus Supremus
I've decided to jump to HFM Arya, which needs plenty of amplification and I want to still use wm1z (@DMP-WM1 FE) as a DAC, already ordered a Topping A90 AMP and 4.4mm to 2x XLR adapter, and want to make sure I got everything right.
So I just connect wm1z's 4.4mm headphone out to this adapter, and adaptor to inputs of the Amp, then enable DAC mode on the DAP, and then connect the DAP to a source device like a phone or PC, right? Also is it possible to skip source device part and just use the player in a DAP mode connected to the Amp? Will I get amplification this way, and should the SQ stay the same?
Would really appreciate if someone could clear this up for me!
Yes and yes and yes. Only caveat is that it seems that some devices have trouble connecting to the WM1 as a dac for whatever reason
