You may want to check out the Furutech Alpha DAC/PRE/HP amp that was written up in S'Phile this month.
What music is best for life in a tiny box?
The US Navy is sending me to Japan. My family is going to stay here in the States. That means I get to live on the ship! Imagine a tiny stateroom; that will be home for the next 2 years.
So..obviously my vinyl collection will stay home. I am thinking of going completely medialess digital.
What do you recommend for:
DAC (are there any that can read from an external hard-drive?)
Headphone Amp?
Headphones?
Portable media player (when i get away from the ship. Must read FLAC, no Apple! :) )
Since my system will be so small, I think I can afford somewhat better gear. I am thinking in the $2k range.
Your thoughts?
