| Entry level amp I agree with Paraneer. I use an NAD 356Bee in a 2nd system and believe it to be an excellent product, however feel the additional power provided by the 356 would prove beneficial with your speakers. | |
| Looking for a USB Headphone amplifier Thanks kijanki, I took a look at the Oppo. I have not made any move as of yet. I am keeping an eye on the used market. | |
| Need help with Integrated vs preamp/amp With a ~$1000 budget I would go the route of an integrated amp and separate DAC. I have a system that includes the NAD 526BEE with a used Music Fidelity V-DAC II. There is a used V-Link II on sale here at AG for $150. I think it would make for a g... | |
| Audio grade USB cables Thanks Willie and Rob. I will try this cable and get back to you. | |
| Building 2.0/2.1 PC system You have a DAC with USB and SPDIF inputs. I recommend a line level integrated amp with a separate phonostage for flexibility. What is your budget. | |
| Audio grade USB cables Sorry Willie, I live in southern Illinois. It seems that the Doukmall cable is a good inexpensive way to separate power from signal and probably would provide much of the sonic gain provided by the PurePower to the Audiophilleo. I would like to tr... | |

| newbie DAC question You could purchase the V-90 from Music Direct and the Bitfrost from Schiit and try them out. Both have return policy. Ask each vender as to their thoughts regarding the improvement over your CD player’s DAC. I would use a Coax digital cable. | |
| Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k There is an NAD 320BEE for sale here on AG. I would consider that for a start. The Pioneer Andrew Jones Towers retail new for $129 each. Forgot model number.I also enjoy NPR on Sunday mornings. | |
| Audio grade USB cables Ghosthouse, thanks for the clarification. I use the Audiophellio with the Pure Power supply. I believe the PP accomplishes the same thing, isolating power from signal. | |
| Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k You can get a new Pioneer A-20 integrated amplifier for $270. It is the least expensive integrated I can recommend. Look into a i phone/iPad dock, i believe these are available that will take the digital signal phone/pad and convert to analog.What... | |
| Looking for a USB Headphone amplifier Any thought on the quality of the Benchmark DAC-1 as a headphone amp? As compared to my OBH-21? | |
