Popular Post ClaytonJ2 Posted November 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have an Exasound e20, it's the best sounding DAC I've had yet. I'm listening to it with Sennheiser HD800 headphones. It's got the best headphone output of any DAC I've tried. I've also got Integra dhc-80.3 and an Oppo BDP-105, which I've tried with these headphones and haven't been satisfied. I'm still flipping back and forth between it's output and using it with this 25 pound tube Z-infinity amp. Plugging into the DAC gets me more detail, gets me a little closer to the sound which is good when I'm editing. It's not at all fatiguing, but reveals everything. I'm a bit skeptical of the assertion that source doesn't matter, but I don't know what they're listening to. The most important equipment is all of it. No sound system can sound better than the weakest link in the chain. If you read equipment reviews, you'll find lots of good suggestions for reference recordings that might be more enlightening for the differences between equipment. You might have to go a little outside of your comfort zone for music genre. Be careful with expensive high def downloads or vinyl, read reviews before you pay. It's a buyer beware world. johndoe21ro and jventer 2 Link to comment
