Which DAC while not having AudioQuest?

[j19861986]

Which DAC should I use while not having AudioQuest DragonFly 1.2?

Hifimediy Async DAC or EMU 0202 USB?

 

Have Alesis Elevate 6 (Passive), and T.Amp S-75 MK2 (75Watts on 4ohm and 45Watts on 8ohm)

And some cheap Superlux HD-330 Headphones (and have ART HeadAmp 4)

 

I am going to purchase AudioQuest DragonFly 1.2 later on

Hi

I would invest in better headphones, then a better DAC/amp. I have enjoyed my Meridian Explorer, which can drive my Audeze LCD2F as well as my Shure SRH840. Next headphone on my wish list is the NAD HP-50.

If you plan to buy the DragonFly later, I assume you are buying something cheaper to keep you going until then? If so, I wouldn't buy any DAC and connect the speakers/headphones direct to your computer's audio output for now. Better than spending money on something long term you will not need.

I'd suggest getting the excellent iFi iDSD Nano - same price range and you get to add DSD in the process. No need to buy another Dragon Fly then!

If you want, I have an old Emu 0404 USB sitting around. I'll give it to you for the postage from SF.
