i confess. im a noob
I have only absorbed a bit of knowledge from head-fi.org which got me to mod my X-FI and oh what a difference that made.
next on the list is an external DAC and headphone amp...was thinking of building it myself but I'm also thinking of getting a cheap/decent one like the Zero dac to get me introduced to this kind of setup.
Glad to know I've got some experts here to call on!
