QUOTE(ahming888 @ Jun 11 2015, 02:13 PM) Can anyone recommend me a dac ? For android and Ipad, can consider Oppo HA-2. For the price, it's a very decent DAC, clean, refined, sound stage is quite huge, with good details and separation. Source: Ipad mini, sony nwz-a845, pc, andriod system.

For Sony walkman wise, I'm not so sure whether it has digital out. |

I need recommendation for a desktop DAC+amp (headphone amp, and preferably preamp too).
I have Audioengine A5 and DT990 Pro headphone. I often switch between those two, so a setup that has switch to change the output device would be helpful, but not mandatory. Have been eyeing on Audinst HUD MX2, Nuprime uDSD, Aune T1 MkII, Schiit MnM stack, Fostex HPA4, and the Audio-GD NFB15. What would be the best value among those? And btw anyone here is a senior member of head-fi.org? I wanted to get the Fostex HPA4 from a forumer there, but he has not yet reply to my PM. Maybe I registered a few days ago, so my reputation is not yet up to buy from there. Thanks in advance. This post has been edited by captvizcenzo: Jul 3 2015, 04:03 PM |

Hey guys, anyone ordered the PA2V2 before?
What's the sound signature of it? How good is it for 65 dollars? Any competitors of similar price range of RM250? I'm planning on amping via Xiaomi MI3 out to Alessandro MS1i |

Adding an suitable amp for M50x definitely will let it sounds a bit better, but it still not a headphone that need strong amp to release potential. I think go for a higher range will give you more surprise. This post has been edited by liquidgal: Jul 13 2015, 01:19 PM |

Thanks for your prompt response. Actually i am quite satisfied with the pair of X3ii and M50x sound (without amp), and agree with you the sound is not much different.Adding an suitable amp for M50x definitely will let it sounds a bit better, but it still not a headphone that need strong amp to release potential.

I just bought a M50x myself, and I'm also looking for a DAC to pair with it, if it does really can make it sound better. Currently I just plug it into my MOBO (Model: Gigabyte H97M-Gaming 3) built-in audio port, and it sounds pretty good already. so do you suggest for me to go for higher range headphone or higher range amp? hihihi.. btw with a budget constraint though... But if a DAC can make it sound even better, I wouldn't mind buying one. May I ask, how much is this X3ii and where you bought it from? Also, does it plug directly into PC USB port? I'm totally new in this headphone + DAC thing, really have no idea which or what should I look for in order to fully utilize my new toy (M50x). Some recommend me to buy a sound card, some say DAC better so I'm in dilemma. |
