If you like Chinese or Tibetan folk songs, you will love this singer, 阿木乃. Her voice is fabulous in this album 爱情买卖. Link: http://www.51ctzs.com/html/320KMP3/fscd/nv/2010/2997.html

A bit off topic. If I were to listen up to 5~6 hours a day from my notebook/computer, I would want to add a Centrance DAC. This is of course add quite a bit more to your budget.

I have the same problem with my HD600 and have been scouting around but haven't found anything yet.

Are you sure you can tap the digital output from the iPod? There are only a few machines as far as I am aware that can receive digital output from the iPod, the Wadia, Onkyo, iDecco etc. but I never knew the Marantz KI has this feature.

I'm using the onboard DAC from my Marantz KI Pearl Lite cd player. This player has an USB input that accepts iPod too.

 

So, I'm taping the digital signal from my iPod and then feed it to the Marantz onboard DAC. Output of the cd player is fed directly to Meier Concerto (set at high gain).

 

I have no problem driving it, normal listening level of my Meier Concerto is set up 11 o'clock.

I am not sure if it is available in Singapore but you can consider the JohnBlue JB3. See http://www.johnblue-audio.com/

The product you are looking for is the Cyberlab AlgoRhythm Solo. The only portable DAC in the world made specially to obtain digital output from your iPod.

I assume this is the first version with the shiny finish.
