Good day guys.
i'm pretty new to desktop amplifier, i've heard about it but never dig into it. It's been a while and still using my SE215 with Dell and Macbook pro laptop. Laptops equip with desktop amplifier does it helps to boost up the music quality? Or i need additional hardware on my laptop? Thanks! |

QUOTE(widget @ Mar 5 2015, 10:59 AM) Do upgrade your earphone. You will notice more change in the sound quality, rather than spend it on DAC/amp. Thanks got the guidelines. Do state your budget and preference in the sound signature, i.e. bassy, vocal-centric, clear, etc Easier for others to help My budget is less than RM1,000, if just earphone will make a big diffs will just go ahead with it. Personally prefer an in-earphone cause headphone will cause headache after certain hours. As music taste wise i have quite a wide range of music taste from classical down to death metal, yes which include Bossa Nova, Jazz, movies soundtrack such like Thomas Bergersen or Lamb of God. So theoretically i prefer more vocal-centric, clear and not so much on bass. |

QUOTE(E1 - AKG @ Mar 5 2015, 01:13 PM) A DAC/amp will help to improve the delivery of audio quality but your SE215 will then become the weak link ... like putting a Ferrari engine into a Kancil   will keep this DAC/amp in mind. Based on my personal preference on type of songs, any better recommendation for better in-earphones?This post has been edited by tzuen: Mar 6 2015, 09:27 AM |
