looks nice, goes up to 24/192 instead of 24/96, ask singapore dealer see, should cost u a fortune to get one, US$ 350 for one, so might get to RM1300, BUT their dealer only in singapore

192/24 on coaxial

96/24 on USB

i'm really lost on net for searching DAC or soundcard for drive fully potential my dt880pro. It over six month i cannot make decision, i need guru.
my usage as per below
1. HD and blu-ray movie ( si-fi and action)
2. music ( bass not too thump, enjoy not sharp acoustic)

my current setup is
hd movie, flac with foobar 320kps mp3s - onboard SC(got hissing problem, settle with black key dac) - govibe peak amps

my question is .
1. onboard SC is dying, strait to xonar stx or SB X-Fi Titanium HD? if sound card is used, are amp can used or no need.?
2. using onboard SC, but invest for more quality dac?

budget for upgrade is rm800. Tqvm for yr support.

DT880 PRO how many ohms???

Source : Lappy,  Sony nwz-s754
Equipment : Only have a usb dac (UD100)

Add an amplifier will do...UD100 is enough for the job...

Do you think e3 will suffice? Since most of the quality improvements is from the DAC.

Not really.amplifier is also an improvement..... smile.gif

I own T-Muso. You can check my post T-Muso selling thread. But I think you should buy amp first.
BTW guys, anyone here have compare Objective 2 amp vs Fiio E17 vs Yulong U100? Thinking of grabbing either one of these 3.

Was wondering If i use a DAC like hippo cricri+(dac part only) and UD100 together with maybe a CmoyBB right...means I cant control the volume? since the CmoyBB does not have a vlume control and if use hippo DAC part only cannot use it's volume? Can I like hippo cricri+ > cmoybb > anotehr amp with volume control. would it mess up the sound?
*
How come CmoyBB doesn't have volume control??? doh.gif
