"I was looking for an inexpensive way to provide better DAC and Amp duties for a newly purchased pair of Sennheiser HD600 headphones for music, gaming and movies/streaming video.
I thought I'd shared this, but since I haven't, this is from my Amazon review after returning an SB-Z:
As long as you aren't hearing shit you don't want to hear in your speakers/headphones everything is good.īefore, when using the analogue outputs straight from my Titanium HD, I could hear my water pump and even my mouse move across the screen over my headphones. IMHO, I think a lot of the obsession over signal/noise ratio is overblown. So in my chain right now, the Titanium HD DAC is bypassed so it is irrelevant, the external Magni Multibit DAC is rated ">104db" S/N ratio, the Jotunheim headphone amp is rated at ">109db" S/N ratio, and the Emotiva powered monitors I'll be getting soon (once I've recovered from my surgery and can set them up properly myself) are rated at >90db S/N ratio.Īs always, the transducers (headphones, speakers) are the weakest link, especially since Schiit (the maker of my DAC and amp) have noted that they use a standard safety margin of about 6db on their official specs pages compared to their in house measurements just to make sure they don't have any complaints. I use a headphone amp which is rated at ">109db" S/N ratio, and I'm getting a set of powered monitors rated at ">90db" S/N ratio.
