Hey guys, need your opinions.
Am using laptop with HP150 and AT IM02. Should i get the dacport with 1 ohm AND LX mod? or only the 1ohm mod? or no mod? refer to MD link: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/centrance-dacport-dac-amp |

QUOTE(psychoactive @ Apr 16 2015, 01:26 PM) HP150 has less sensitive and rather medium impedance, your IM02 has low impedance and medium-high sensitivity. Oops. your reply came late. already placed the order. We'll see how it goes. I don't recommend you getting the DACport, its ok for your HP150 use case but for the IM02, <1ohm is recommended else the sound quality will be affected and there will be distortion due to the electronic damping issue. LX mod? It's an version of DACport, by removing the volume control and providing line stage output to your amp, if you have already an amp and gonna connect your DACport LX with it, go for it. I don't wholeheartedly recommend the DACport just because of your IM02, even with 1ohm mod.   Side note: any dac/amp to recommend that suits the 2 phones i have? |
