What's worst, getting an awesome amp in the mail at home, or getting an awesome amp and having it sit on your desk until a custom cable can be made or someone sells you one on head-fi :[!!!!!!

PAAAAINNN.

I think it is about time for me to invest in a new DAC. As, I have not been keeping up with Head-fi as much lately, I was hoping some of you guys come help me out. $300 budget and I will be using it with my Darkvoice and DT770's.

FYI...Ordering leather pads for the DT's this week.

keep an eye out on ebay, I managed to score my MHDT Constantine ($445 shipped new from china) for $310 shipped on ebay, in perfect condition.

Also look into a Zhalou.

Good week for phospho?

Tomorrow I get : D2000's
Friday I get: Little Dot MKIII + Custom LOD to RCA cables :]

What I plan to do is use my ipod as my source, for work and home. See, I use LOD to rca for my LD at home with the D2000's, than I take my LOD+iPod to work and use my DT 770's at work with whatever amp I buy in the next month. Awwww yeah.

Why my ipod you ask? My ipods LOD sounds better with custom cables than my laptops/work computers 3.5mm and i don't want to buy dacs for both.

Yessir .

Bad week for Aura. No amp, no listening to the main rig.

October 24th cannot come soon enough. I get my Moth, and the next day my Denon will meet some of the fine folks in Houston.

I'm a believer in upgrading what you can now, and worrying about the rest when the time comes to worry about it. Sure, the Prelude might not be as good a source as a boutique audiophile DAC, but it's sure a decent one that the gent could enjoy HD650s with until such time as he decided to upgrade (or not).
