QUOTE(ben3003 @ Apr 28 2013, 06:42 AM) 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. |

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Apr 29 2013, 01:59 PM) i wan to output to speaker one.. so DAC should be enuf? becos speaker got amp edi.. i use hivi x3.. 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. |
