Nope!

But I am hoping to have a pair of Senn HD800's to listen to soon ...

I've good result with W1000 and W5000. So the above cans should sound as good.

I'm about to purchase a HA-02 to use with a W5000 but I'm wondering what DAC I should get, preferably under $750 or better yet $500.

Does anyone here have any experience using a Headroom Micro or Ultra Micro with the HA-02?

I tried searching this thread as well as the forums but I didn't really get a concrete answer.

Thanks.

These sound very good together, but I have no experience with Headroom's DAC's ...

Sorry.

HA-02 ordered. Now to be in the annoying position of not having the $$ to spend, but not having the amp either.

It was very nice of Brian to take my order on a Sunday Afternoon/Evening, and his email communication was excellent.

Edit: As for the DAC, I asked Brian about it and he was looking for one himself in the same price range. He also said he would check around and see what he could find.

Im curiouse as to what your source is , i am just asking as I have HA-02 + W5000 but I have no DAC, I think the Dac in my CDP is good enough not to worry about an additional Dac in the chain.

Still loveing The HA-02

 

[Aslan123]

My source is my computer, which is why I need a DAC quite badly.

Ok sorry cant help no nothing about Dac's

There is a chap in Australia who is the owner and builder of Aslan Speakers New Page 1

Just as a mater of interest his R1 speaker system is worth checking out if you have the $$

Am also interested in a DAC for use with my computer, so am interested in what you end up buying and why you made the choice you made ...

Tempting, but I'm already blowing a lot of $$. Of course, if I wait a month, I might be able to justify a DA11 or a DAC1 due to the constant thinking.

I myself use an USB Monica DAC.
Well, I like NonOverSampling DACs.

iBasso D3 (when using USB) or D10 (when using opt./toslink) are fine, too,
or
maybe the new Pico DAC (I havn't heard).

 

[slwiser]

I also have the Pico and can say it is very good for it's price.

Buy a used one. DAC's have no moving parts. So, not much risk. And if you don't like it or want to buy a better one you don't loose as much money selling it as with a new one.

So the Ibasso D10 Dac is good with Yamamoto?? That's interesting as I have D10 and am thinking of getting a Yammy sometime in the near future...
