QUOTE(GenericMav @ Feb 12 2012, 02:02 AM) neutral dac eh, my future plan for AD series (especially after i got my hands on AD900) is something like HRT MusicStreamerII (not available locally) nice DAC..... but, just for PC only........QUOTE(E1 - AKG @ Feb 12 2012, 09:43 AM) The fact remains that your source is digital and don't think there is a portable amp (with battery) with tube. portable or not portable are not important for me, because i wont bring out my AD900 for navigation QUOTE(hongrui @ Feb 12 2012, 10:43 AM) Yessss, good in midrange and natural sound the AUX input can match to my TECLAST- X19HD well ? |

Fiio e10 has NO hissing at all, even at extremely loud volume...
Fiio E10 is realy a beast in my opinion.. I guess nth is better than it at the price u pay.. Cmoy + new opamp + 9v battery + charger for 9v could easily cost u RM400++ |

While you can use the x19hd as source to the TTD, I wouldn't recommend it as you will be double amping and you will only be using the amp of the TTD, not the DAC section.

Am still in the midst of building up my rigs. Starting off with a good portable amp but currently using IEM's but plan to get headphones later. Budget is around 1k+. Need portability. |
