baijxz Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 This maybe a very stupid question but I'd like to ask it anyway. I'd really like to have a small and portable dac/headphone amp and I'd also like to be able to use it with mah stereo, for various reasons; the obvious being that I'm not made out of money and would like less electronic gear in my apartment. Are there any valid reasons to think this would be a hysterically bad idea? enlighten this noob please That being said, I'm aware that the signal is being amplified obviously but is it THAT bad? are there any sane alternatives? The stereo is an ageing Sony 730ES and a pair of JBL 4408's so don't tell me I wont benefit from a detailed dac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Nope, it works great. It's really light, so you might want to velcro it down when it's in your rack tho This maybe a very stupid question but I'd like to ask it anyway.

Smeggy Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Welcome to HC baijxz (doesn't that name just roll off the tongue) I don't see why not, I'm going to be doing the same thing when I finally get one. Nice and small doing double duty as a home/porty dac/amp. A number of people are already using it that way, including the man himself, Justin.

baijxz Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 YAAYH!!! YAYH! YAYH! Am I off to burn my money then... oh and thanks for the welcome it seems these fora are a bit more opinionated, in a more humorous and technical way than what I'm used to. i like it. is the prebuy still open or what?, I find it pretty hard to scurvy trough 100+ pages to try and find something intelligible.

PFKMan23 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 At this point its more of an order line (as the product is shipping, although shipping in small batches), os if you want one you just put your name down and then await further instructions.

Smeggy Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Get yourself on the H-F order thread then go into hibernation for a few weeks. Once you wake up, spring will be in full bloom, the birds will be singing in blue skies and you'll have a new toy to frolic in the fields with. Ah, life just doesn't get any better than that *sigh* lalalalalalalalalalaal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
