Hello guys, i'm just making my first step into audiophile world. Due to my limited budget, my first purchase which i'll be making soon would be the ATH-AD300/ATH-T500(not sure yet). So I heard an amp is needed for portable listening and for maximum performance so i'm planning to get 1 with my headphone purchase.
So, my rig is either my desktop, Galaxy W or my sony mp3 player. Can I have a recommendation for these usage? I mainly listen to music and games, movies sometimes. Budget i'm not sure. Just hit me with the most suitable beginner amp for a decent price. My budget is definitely low so i'm surveying so I know how much I need to prepare. Thank you very much sifus.  |

QUOTE(GenericMav @ Feb 28 2012, 01:25 PM) if you have AD300, start with a tmuso DAC, my greatest advice Ok, thank you very much! and btw, i dont like T500 even a slightest bit, AD300 is way to go, also my greatest opinion   You helped me a lot here =) Just 1 more question, I only have to plug in the amp to the audio port then plug my headphones in right? Any other things i should worry about? |

QUOTE(noobandroid @ Feb 28 2012, 01:38 PM) unless u have a dac, then yeah audio port > amp> headphone, if got dac, then usb(best use motherboard one)>dac>amp>headphone QUOTE(GenericMav @ Feb 28 2012, 01:49 PM) tmuso is a desktop dac, plug the USB in, and stereo jack out, with built in pre-amp, you got every blessing of every penny your money from it, no need to think about amp anymore Ok, thanks a lot guys  Gonna survey prices and get the headphone and DAC ASAP! How about Govibe mini DAC? is it ok? |
