Hi,
I'm currently using Xonar Essence STX with this headphones but the card has a nasty habit of occasionally sending out white noise, and I don't want to risk permanent hearing damage, so I'm looking for alternatives to drive this headphones, preferably with DSD capabilities just to know if it actually affects sound quality or not.
At first, I was looking at the Chord Mojo/iDSD BL. However, after reading the review for the NX4DSD, I think that I may not need to spend that much to drive this headphones properly.
So... what do you guys think? Can NX4DSD provide sufficient power for this headphones? I'm not looking for a specific sound signature. I just want to make sure that this headphones is being driven to its full potential.
I know I can buy iDSD BL or Mojo and be done with it, but both of these are quite expensive, and I really don't want to deal with Mojo's battery and EMI issues(don't exactly want to deal with something that could become just a useless brick after a little over a year).
Any suggestions?
