hehe sorry i may not be that "pro" in this area, but thanks a lot for this, learn something new today... going to further check more in this area

Guys, I've been looking at the FireStone Fubar IV Desktop DAC/Amplifier and the FireStone Audio SpitFire MKII DAC. Are they good? I will only need the DAC part..

Anyone tried Bravo Ocean tube amp before? I wanna try them so will do a little bulk~ share shipping

any recommendations for any headamp that can pair with xba-1? or in general, which headamp can gives better details and add in some bass?

portable, budget not too high la haha.. maybe rm100-300 like tat. I normally listen to chinese pop, english pop, instrumental songs, country. I wan details and clarity but need some bass boost for the xba-1 tho.. little weak ><

i am using Bravo brand product also.. they are quite bright sounding, with warmth mid and a tad kick of bass.. and now i have 10 people bulking up and 2 bought d~

what music u listen to?
u want portable or stationed?
price range?

anyone has the cri cri+ already? i tested it a while but lost memory on how it sounded.. pair up with dt770 pro 250 ohm

between the t muso and the govibe mini dac which one better?

hi bro semua..

i received my Superlux HD669 n use it 2 days now with my xfi titatium pci-e, n tune according my taste.. just burn it around 15hour..

do i still need DAC n Amp to maximize the can sound output? currrently eyeing on Fiio E7 but the main question is, will be any huge different music that i hear? if using onboard sound card, mybe i can tell, but i'm using the xfi titatium now..

beside E7, any others can u recommend?

what about T-muso new mini USB DAC card (quite popular i think here) + (insert ur recomend portable amp around 100-200 if have)

i prefer Rock, Slow Rock, Ballads music like like coldplay, oasis, the vines, radiohead, muse etc etc..

thanks guys..

Anyone in here tried on arcam RDAC ? Got any comment ?

sounds like a tube amp will fit you, dac wise, T Muso will be enough

will there any huge different in sound quality? cos i'm oredi have xfi titanium.. scared when i buy later, not up with my expectation or just same with my current sound card. hahaha

for tube amp, it gives different sound than solid state amps, it gives warm mid sound, dac wise, just see what kinda dac chip they use

hi..looking for portable amp .. not usb powered...
going to pair with my hippo VB and j20i .. will get C30 later on..
opt for booming bass... thx
budget around 200 if able

Thanks bro!
I will wait till Asus Msia bring it in, then compare price again with amazon haha.

Budget wise, keep it below RM2000
