Hmmm... louder? Or issit bolder? Not sure if they have these terms. My ES7 is already clear which I love. Whichever that can boost my built-in SC on the lappy.

Bro, if I go for this Dacport, issit enough for my lappy? I can fork out that extra 500 if I dont need to add any amp to it.

WOW!! 630 USD compare to dacport which is 399 USD shakehead.gif . (i cant afford it biggrin.gif )

biggrin.gif . yes. its good to start from bottom. but its not always the best way rite. upgrading cost more that getting it from the start. But in the end, it depends smile.gif .

Any1 can also try a 2ndhand dac. atleast ur loss is not that much brows.gif .

Yup. Getting a headphone 1st is always a better way. Cos u got a dac rite. & d best way is wait for jaben bundle. For sure its d best bang for buck. But sometime it dosnt come with the phone that u want. So its depend on luck. icon_rolleyes.gif .

im also looking for 1. & this come in 1st place

or maybe this is good enough

icon_rolleyes.gif

no 1 bring HDP in?

had u ever tried dacport before? how do u compare vs HDP? (symphonica-ed setup)

http://www.head-fi.org/products/centrance-...one-amp/reviews

both got +ve & -ve.. no 1 wins rclxm9.gif

dacport got less headroom, less input but portable & no hiss prob.
hdp got hiss prob with iem, need power supply but more input & headroom.

Furutech Gt40?? just felt the headphone amp not enough gain for my liking, other area not sure...
But it is cheap all in 1 solution set, got DAC... Headphone Amp, RCA Out & has Phono Stage.

I using Maverick A1 Amp, hehe... Dacport baby to work as preamp. LOL
If want, i can sell and upgrade, but Dacport is so nice i can unplug from my home rig and use directly with laptop (usb powered) connect headphone on the move.  wub.gif

Ya, the pcwork's mini rca cable rm799  cry.gif
My dacport as a dac preamp is more expensive than my maverick A1 amp, and my usb cable + mini rca cable is more expensive than my dacport.

icon_question.gif i spent more money on cable.
