Hi All,
I have just recently started researching an amp to get for my set up, but I am a complete newbie in this field. I currently have the M-Audio Profire 610, but I am starting to think it's not quite powerful enough on its own, specially since I will soon upgrade my headphones (most likely Ultrasone PRO900 or similar).
My question is, what is the best way to connect the amp to the Profire? The available outputs are: Line Out (Balanced TRS), S/Pdif (Coax), and the front headphone outs (standard 6.35mm, I am guessing unbalanced). Are there any issues I should be aware of with either option? I would like to get an idea of this before I buy, as I want to know what inputs to look for in the amp I'm getting.
On my shortlist at the moment is the Fiio E09k, Schiit Asgard and the O2.
Also, does anyone have experience with the Profire 610 and can tell me if an amp will be a large improvement? I really like the Profire for it's recording capabilities, so I prefer to keep it in my set up.
Thank you!
Cheers
