Hello all,
I recently picked up some used Grado GS1000i, in excellent condition. I thought I might use them in my main Naim system but I think I'm going to use them at my desk with my iMac.
I'm eyeing up the Naim DAC V-1 as this looks like a good solution having a DAC and headphone amp. Ideally I was looking to spend less than this, and wondered if anyone has any recommendations to partner with the iMac and Grado? Also, I was hoping for something compact, ideally more so than the DAC V1 (if that's possible)
Currently I am using the headphone out from the iMac. The Grados are the most detailed bit of kit I have ever heard, but this resolution could come at a cost if i'm not careful - I imagine they could be quite fatiguing over long periods with the wrong match. I imagine a smoother / warmer amp would suit them well. Saying that, they are sounding damn nice even from the iMac headphone out!
Any thoughts / advice much appreciated. Thanks!
