Looking for a DAC to output from my laptop.. is Hippo CriCri+ a good choice? it can be doubled as an amp.. looks like a great deal.. using UD100 now, looking for something better..

Why not just add an amp? O2 amp, Fiio E12 maybe. UD100 is already a great DAC.

Owh... I tot u want to use with headphones. For active speaker u only need DAC. No need amp... 

CriCri+ is amp+dac right? So it'll be a waste if u want to output to active speaker as u dont even need the amp. Unless u also want to drive a headphones with it.

maybe at the same time i can use the amp for my DAP sometimes biggrin.gif

anyone help please?

fiio e11 needs battery means no rechargeable battery inside?

my t-muso broke down sad.gif but now i am using UD100 tho..

usb sound card doesnt work for ps3 my fren. U need Turtle beach DSS or creative recon3d, or any DAC that can input optical and output to ur speaker.
