No it arrives tomorrow morning. I got the E-DAC thing as well.

 

ODAC? 

 

You should notice a small difference.   My xonar phoebus compared to a $20 amp+dac sounded almost identical, and the o2+odac "cleaned" up some of the frequencies when I got one, it sounded a tiny bit clearer, but with more volume.

 

The volume knob + convience of the o2+odac was worth the $200 by itself, the sound quality was just a bonus IMO.

So I just bought the DT770 80ohm.

 

What amp shall I get? Im using the Xonar DG at the moment.

Without a doubt audioquest dragonfly.Audio engine D1 is a good option if you have a stereo speaker as well as a headphone.

And here we go, how many warning points will we get this time, since the mods already hate us because Linus does. 

And SSL and I perpetuate our relationship across multiple threads because this whole place is a joke anyway, might

as well make it an amusing joke right? 

Edit, it, being this forham. 

My O2 Amp and epiphany e-dac arrived today. I no longer hear the distortion in the songs that i heard it in. I can turn them up as loud as I want and there is no distortion at all.

 

Maybe spend less time in a circlejerk with SSL and spend more time getting good at audio.

Glad to hear, probably being that I am not leaning over your shoulder and I can not hear the distortion you are talking about, I can not physically see whats going on. Now normally I could extrapolate this, but you can only do that for some many people before you end up not caring anymore
