    Balanced advice: Should I bid farewell to my HeadRoom Ultra Desktop Amp/DAC?

    Hello, wise audiophiles!   For a long time I've had a setup consisting on the venerable HD800's, and HeadRoom's UltraDesktopAmp/DAC. They've served me well, but I always thought the sound was a bit too "dry" and bright. I heard Audeze's LCD-3s the other day, and I decided to switch to those...

    Best DAC from $1500 to $2500 (or so) Can anything beat the Eastern Electric Minimax?

    I currently have an eastern electric minimax dace with a mullard tube in it as well has a musical fidelity v-link asynchronous usb->spdif feeding it.  From what I've read the EE seems like a giant killer (especially with the MF v-link feeding it).  My question is, how much would I have to spend...

    What should I buy next?

    My current set-up is either a 1st generation Ipod Nano or a Numark record player. The sound then goes through my dads old Akai amp and then either to my Grado sr-80 headphones with mods (dynamat, wood cups, 10 holes punched, loin cloth removed) or some speakers. My question would be what should...
