Guys, i got a question. Do i go DAC? Mainly now.. because im using a grado s60 and dt231. And from what i felt. The grado are much more clearer in the vocals. Mostly mids and high. The bass, is abit weak. But the dt231 are opposite. This is from my laptop. But when i listen on my ipod classic, I felt the dt231 are more utilized compared when i put it on my ipod. The sound is less muffled, and more towards my liking. Same goes with the Grados s60 also, when i plug it in my ipod, it is so much more clearer compared to my laptop..

so the question is, Do i need a DAC? if i get 1, i will mostly get a fiio e10, because im eying on it.. I don't need a portable 1, since i will be using it for my home.

rule of thumb is external dac normally will serve more superior than internal, for low budgets, dac+amp is a good choice, highly recommended

What budget do you have in mind. I would always recommend the TTD but depending on your budget and taste, other dac/amps might be more suitable.
