two DACS at the same time...

Hi all,

 

I have a DAP (the Cowon Plenue D2) which obviously has an integrated DAC inside. Now, due to the high impedance of my headphones (the Beyers DT 1990 Pro) I need an amp to run them properly.

 

I am currently looking to a solution from iFi – either the xcan (just amp) or the Xdsd (both amp and DAC). So my question is: What happens If I buy the Xdsd? Will both DACS (the cowon's and the xdsd) make a difference? Or will somehow interfere/damage something?

 

Thank you for your help

Neither the Xcan nor the Xdsd has an analog to digital converter in it, so you can't send analog output from your Cowon into the iFi devices. Thus, you can't use "two" DACs.

Ah ok. I misunderstood the products.
