gallenwolf 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2009 Dear all, Hope you are all enjoying the 1st Jan break! Caught a cold last night and man, feeling really sucky I would like your opinions for a headphone amp. Will be getting an IAudio 7 to pair up with my SR80s, and I'm hoping to get a pair of SR225s soon. Would love to get the 325i, but it's a little too bling for office use The kind of music I'm currently listening too is Jazz, game music (Square stuff mostly), some new age and retro. I like my current SR80s, they do get tiring after a while, but a few minutess of rest is enough to get back in the groove. I won't need the amp to be portable (or will I even see an improvement with sr225s + iaudio 7) as I will be leaving my player + headphone in the office 24x5 (bring home on weekends Budget for amp, about sgd300. I was hunting for an amp that can be powered by USB but does not have a dac, can't seem to find any? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it doesn't power by USB. I doubt any amp will sound good with USB limited power. Power is the source of performance for all component. http://www.gspaudio.co.uk/headphoneamps/no...neamplifier.htm Edited January 1, 2009 by ical Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
