I bought one of these on Amazon so I wouldn't have to wait. It was only $8 more. My question is regarding a DAC. I'm using a Zorloo ZuperDAC that I picked up during the last drop. The question is what is the optimal way to use this combination. This is a setup for work so it did not have to be super high end. I have the volume turned up all the way on the ZuperDAC using my iPhone 6s Plus as the source. I only have to turn the volume nob up not even a quarter on the Bravo to get good volume output to my DT 770 Pro 80 ohm cans. Should the ZuperDAC only be at 1/2 volume since it has an amp also built in. Or should I get a DAC without an amp? I'm new to this stuff. I'm also going to try this out with Massdrop HD6xxx, and Hifiman HE-400i, and HE-560's.
sucram65 Lot of DAC/Amp combos have a "Line Out" option that you should use instead of the headphone jack. The headphone jack can be used in the absence of a line out, but it would be best to avoid cranking either one of the amps in the chain to max volume if you can avoid it. 75% + 75% is probably better than 100% + 50% regarding distortion stats.** ** Yeah, I know 75/75 isn't going to be the same output power as 100/50, but I'm not going to bother doing the math, nor theorizing as to the output powers of the two devices mixed with the logarithmic nature of sound amplification to come up with some random 65% + 82% guess... It's easier to just dink with the knobs until you get something that might sound better while keeping the same volume. :-)
