Hey guys,
I haven't been around here for a while, but the need to upgrade has brought me back, with this question. My current system is:
Foobar2000 > EMU 0404 USB > Headamp GS-1 > Denon AH-D5000/Beyer DT770/250
I think that the way my system currently stands, my DAC is probably the weak link, so I've decided that I want to upgrade it. Mostly I'm looking for improvements in the realms of detail, seperation, and preferebly soundstage as well (although the soundstage may be more an issue with the headphones in question then the DAC).
My music preferences shouldn't be much of a mystery, but mostly I listen to Power Metal or older Heavy Metal. I don't listen to any newish metal. Sometimes I listen to rock.
As far as price range is concerned, I'm mostly looking in the range of between 1,000 and 1,500 USD, although obviously something better sounding for less money is good.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
