is this the UD100 that everyone recommends? http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2449848/+20?hl=ud100

Is it a good pair with AD300 or DT231?

so it will be either FiiO E07K or E17  nod.gif  can't use the E10 with your future biscuit.

the e07k I think its a bit big for me if I use together with a biscuit so maybe i would opt for something smaller any other suggestions if its solely for PC only?

even using the line out also comfirm not using the DAC because the player got dac build in already you only by pass the internal amp
*
So if i plug a hippo cricri+ into my galaxy S3 i'm only using my phones DAC and not the cricri?

Also would a grado sr80i benefit from a amp hugely in honest opinion?

errr i don quite get what you are trying to say. there are certain headphones that is like impossible to use withough an amp for exam those headphone with impedance above 300ohm in that case a amp make a huge improvement and is a requirement
*
as in like the improvement would be hugely noticeable but it's not required, as in its not reliant on the amp to function at standard.


Was planning to get a MS1i and pair it with the UD100 and CmoyBB Amp

i forgot its USB connected haha xD

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?

Ah I'm blind thanks I forgot that it does. Although can I use multiple amps on top of each other?

anyone thinks MS1i + hippo cricri plus is a good combo? and maybe in future source>cricri DAC>bravo tube v2>Ms1i?

Was wondering portable vs desktop amps, i saw jaben site with the ATH-HA20 desktop amplifier is that a good amp?

Also looking for something like a DAC that can do PC>DAC>Speakers+Headphones(RCA & 3.5mm) something for an example the nuForce UDH-100

Can I run a DAC through an AVR?

I'm looking for a all in one solution to improve the sound quality from my PC to my speakers and headphones. Maybe something where my audio can pass through it like a DAC and output it to both my speakers and headphones. Basically a DAC made for speakers(RCA or 3.5mm) AND headphones at the same time.

Is it good?

What headphones or speakers do you use? DACs and amps help in improving sound quality, but it all boils down to whether your sound equipment is able to deliver.

Starting off with ms1i than getting dt770 speakers still looking.

How much is it and where to get?

Just spend some money and get the Denon m38. Great sound and works for speakers and headphones.

Does it work very well with headphones? Does it improve the sound?

Looking for a DAC for my ms1i and superlux 668b/661.

My budget is about RM300 below, source from my PC.

How does hippo cricri+ fare as a DAC since im getting it in a bundle.

quick question, e07k or hippo cricri+ is better?

Still looking for a DAC around RM300 source PC!
