Painfully virile
I have an Astell & Kern AK120 playing through MrSpeakers Ether C’s and want to add a little portable amp for some extra drive. A couple of things.....
Many of the portable headamps have built in Dacs, how does this work when there are dacs in the A&K? Does the headamp dac take over as the main processor? I’m thinking that the dacs in the A&K would be better but I could be wrong...?
Am I better off going for a headamp without a dac?
Also it needs to be small, ideally not much bigger than the A&K so I could strap them together and still fit in my pocket...
Anyone have any recommendations or has compared any?
Thanks.
Edit: Budget - up to c.£400 max I suppose, but used very rarely so ideally less.
