It is an interesting read but I heard the differences the very first time I used DAC/Amp and never looking back ever since. It's worth it for me laugh.gif

I have moved on from DAC to DAC but end up with Holo Spring Level 3.

The biggest difference I heard from a DAC upgrade was from:
1) laptop to bifrost
2) bifrost to mojo
3) mojo to matrix X-sabre
4) matrix X-sabre to Holo Spring L3

I had some other DACs that were not mentioned but the differences were not much with the current DAC I had at that time.

I believe digital audio, DAC & amp technologies have progressed so far that many smartphones can output excellent audio to headphones. Unless your headphones have high impedance eg HD600/HD800, or your headphones lack sufficient volume, then headphones amp or DAC/amp combo is not necessary.

This kind of setup is laughable sometime ago but it is great today:

The Exogal only in for a week. Todd from TTJV is so generous with the loaning opportunity. Great DAC but lack in holographic sound and less impact compares to Holo Spring. The Holo Spring has more analog sound to it.

Audio-gd R2R-11? 10 years warranty (1 year shop replacement warranty, 9 years repair warranty if im not mistaken), rm1599 from stars picker. It should be an upgrade over xduoo xp-1, and comparable to the schiit stack. (schiit modi 2 multibit + magni 3 costs around rm2k, whether u buy locally or straight from schiit website). I'd suggest u go demo the amp/dac at stars picker shop.

Got a question fams, I have a S350DB speaker set and currently am just outputting using a 3.5mm out from my motherboard with realtek alc1150 audio chipset. I mostly watch movies and listen to music. Any recommendations to improve the sound? USB dac? Soundcard? External soundcard? Any models? But my budget is about RM 500 max
