Hi,
 
I read a bit the reviews here and found some interesting stuff, like the following :

1. Yulong D100 MKII
2. Grant Fidelity TubeDac-11
3. AudioQuest Dragonfly
4. O2+ODAC

 
Well all of them are in the sud 500$ price range.
 
Now my question is : how do they compare each other, and which one will perform the best with an AKG k240M with a large impedance ?
 
Note that I may be missing some models, so feel free to add more to the list.

Up!
 
Some advice is very welcome ...

Aune T1 Tube amp/dac out of question?

 

[alex223]

As I said, I'm open to other models, as long as they come with some justification / comparison.
 
For example it seems there is a tube in the amping section. What does it means in terms of sound ? Warmer, less precise sound ?

 

[CoiL]

There`s a whole long thread about this nice amp/dac: http://www.head-fi.org/t/633006/aune-t1-usb-tube-dac-amp-discussion-thread-see-first-post-for-faq

I read somewhere it could be light on a 600 Ohm headphone. Is it true ?

 

[CoiL]

With 600Ohm it might be little weak yeah, but I think it depends on what exact can you are using.

 

[alex223]

It seems reasonable to say that if my ipod classic can drive it this little amp will do too, no ?

JDS Labs O2+ODAC = transparent and neutral

 

[alex223]

Is there any difference between the different makers for o2+odac? Like between jdslab and head'n'hifi ?

 

[ostewart]

they should all sound the same.
