Hi all, I've decided my next upgrade will most likely be a Micro amp (as tempting as the WA6 is, i need something a bit more versatile) , followed later (when I scrounge up the dough!) by a Micro DAC. Till then, though, I'll need to use my Total Bithead as a DAC as the headphone jack on my iBook is not exactly that good for output. Questions:
1. What volume level from the Bithead is best for optimum sound? I keep it at High gain, as I'm currently powering Grado 325is, which are nowhere near as sensitive as most IEMs that the BH was meant to power.
2. How much better is the SQ from the Micro DAC compared to using the Bithead in this manner? All my files are 16-bit, with anything I own as a physical CD in lossless, the rest in either 320kbps MP3s or comparable AAC.
Thanks in advance of any replies.
