Hi forumites...

Just some advice/thoughts please...

I was so tempted to buy that Cambridge dacmagic 100, but I was lured elsewhere and I just purchased an iFi iDSD Nano dac/amplifier.

It seems to be quite feature packed in terms of what it can do i.e. sampling....  oh and its portable - it has its own power source.

On the specs side, it looks very similar to a Nuprime DSD.

But alas thats as far as my knowledge goes.

I have played it temporarily on my HT setup and my Stereo setup via laptop and was suitably impressed.

I have then tried it with my desktop using the headphone amp on my Sennheiser M2's OE - I was impressed but like not that impressed....

That is until I listened with my phones play directly from the PC... What a MASSIVE difference.

I still need time to play around with it and get the right software to play my music from, I dont have JRiver and I am using windows 10 native apps - i.e. Groove.

any tips thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks for reading and commenting in advance.
