Dear GrahamJohnMiles, Thanks for taking to answer my post. I really like how you see things and once I have my setup in place I will let you know how it perform and what will be my next goal to make it better. But I already know that I will have two tweak my home office a little bit to make it a better listening room. Thanks again.

Thanks Daren, Those 2 products seem interesting but what I like about the Ibasso is that it's small and that it will easily fit in my laptop bag when I'll have to hit the road.

First of all, Hi to everyone since I am new to what seems a great Forum. I need your opinion on a new setup that I "virtually" put together today by ordering two components online. The setup is for my home office (12' x 12') and I was on a really tight budget ($350 CA). I already have a decent livingroom system with Onkyo CD player and receiver hooked to my Canton 5.1 speaker system but I spend a lot of time in my office and I had enough of my Bose Companion 2 hooked to my Hifiman Expres DAC.So I wanted to have a new setup that include: - A better small DAC - A small headphone amp (To better powered my Klipsh Image One) - Good Powered speakers (Note that my source is my Samsung SF410 Laptop) My choices are the following: - Ibasso D7 Intagrated DAC and Headphone amp($200 with shipping) http://www.ibasso.com/en/products/show.asp?ID=77 - M-Audio AV40 powerspeaker http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/MAudioAV40.html($145 with ship) Based on the specs of the 2 products I think it will be good sounding little computer based system (Note that I haven't listen to the Ibasso D7 but that I really like the M-Audio). Please let me know what do you think of this setup or if I could have made better choices. I can't wait to set it up and listen to it. Note: I'm a french Canadian so excuse my so-so english) Thanks and regards.
