Thanks!

Once you finish with this idea, could you follow up with a Flac/headphone setup. I'll be moving a lot over the next several years and don't want to amass much, but I want to start replacing old cd's with higher quality stuff.

There is so much head-fi on the market right now, it's hard to keep up!

It's a great time to be a fan of "cans".

Astel & Kern makes some fantastic gear and does all hi-rez--but not cheap...check out their website--cool stuff.

Oppo also has a good amp and headphones--good value.

Even the new Sony portable player is damn good (about $700)--plays every type of file up to DSD/DXD.


Are you looking for portable headphone/amp combo or stationary for the home?


I use a portable amp & DAC from ALO Audio to drive Focal headphones when I travel. I have 6 pair of headphones, but I mainly use 2 of them. I really don't use cans much at home as I mainly use the big audio rig.

I find the Bayerdynamic Tesla headphones to be the King of phones...the Audeze cans are right up there with them too.

If you want to check out a lot of pretty decently priced higher end headphones, DAC's, and amps check out:
