Headphone Amps and dacs


Recommended Posts

Hello. Earlier this year I got the HD58x for my birthday. I quite like what I have heard so far but I don't think I'm getting the best out of them just using a Fiio x3 ii as a dac/amp. Certainly better than the onboard sound of my motherboard. Streets ahead of my phone. But I am thinking a desktop amp would be nice. 

 

I had been looking at the Schiit Asgard 3 that recently came out but I've heard a lot of good things about the Gilmore Lite MK2 as well. I'd probably look second hand for that 2nd one. Anything else in that price range that anyone recommends?

They have a loaner programme so you could try before you buy.

Thanks. That's a great idea. Any idea if I have to be able to pick up? I'm just north of Sydney.

Well, I've just picked up the Gilmore Lite MK2 2nd hand. Initial impressions are pretty good. I'm still using the Fiio x3 as the DAC for now which seems to be doing a fair job now that it doesn't have to drive the headphones too. Maybe some time next year I'll experiment further with a dedicated DAC.
