I have a 901 that I use with Sennheiser HD-600 headphones with an Equinox cable. While I've not tried direct digital from my SB3 as a source, I have done extensive comparison of the (tubed) analog out and digital out on my Jolida JD100A CD player. I very much prefer the analog outs to the Grace DAC for a lot of reasons that are hard to articulate without sounding like a bunch of 6moons reviews in a blender. The end result is that I enjoy music more through the tubes and the DAC fatigues my ears pretty quickly. I have no other, high-quality headphone amp to which I can compare, though. Buying sight unheard is probably not the best way to find out what your ears like. bb -- bsquare ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bsquare's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3523 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20511 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
