[QUOTE="sajunky, post: 1023023, member: 22308"] Alternative get a good R2R DAC/HPA combo like Audio GD R2R11. CD quality material sounds better than MQA masters with a typical Delta-Sigma MQA enabled DACs. There is no need for MQA. On the road I have a Nobsound 8xTDA1387 DAC $42. Tried to replaced a built-in HPA with a modern amp (FiiO E12A), it sounds only good when listening to pumping-head electronic production like Calvin Harris. Better headphones like HD-600 reveal unnatural signature of this amp. Bottom of line, [b]there is no short answer[/b]. All depends on a music you are listening to. [/QUOTE]
