Hi all,
I'm still searching for a DAC+AMP for my office and home use, and below are the criteria
1) Input:USB (office), SPDIF optical (home)
2) Output:TRS
3) "Transportable" (portable? Maybe)
4) Robust - I will throw it in my bag and carry between my office and home.
5) Headphone - HD238 for now, may be looking @ fullsize cans soon strictly for home use.
6) Music - Classical most of it all.
7) Budget - 300
Based on some quick search on Internet and post from infinitesymphony I am considering the following lists of dac+amps. (are there really dac amps? lol)
I'm interested with D10 Cobra, and curious how this portable dac+amp perform compared against the other dac+amps.
Please state your preference, should you have other recommendations please select others and post your choice. Some explanation would be great!!
DIYEDENSV05 was previously in the list but I found a new model so I dropped it.
Thanks.
