Thanks. I will be using this with HD650 . I bought the crack + speedball kit in MD few days back. Looking out for a DAC. I am also interested in Aune T1..do you think D1 will be better than T1? Thanks again!

aksakhilThere is not much sense in going for the Aune T1, especially with a tube amp like the Crack.
If you have no use for the D1 headphone amp, then you can go for an ODAC which is more 'audiophile' (neutral,analytical and transparent).
I say, put your money on a better set of headphones before you go any higher than an ODAC ...

LQDForceIs the difference negligible compared to ODAC when D1 is used just as a DAC. My setup would be HD650>Crack+Speedball>DAC>Computer. Thanks!

aksakhilThere is a big difference in sound signature. The ODAC is very analytic and neutral, can be bright with certain headphones. The D1 is much more forgiving and less 'audiophile', a bit warm and more musical.
I say between the two, the D1 is a better match for your Crack and HD650. Plus you get the benefit of the solid-state amp integrated in the D1 for low impedance headphones, since the Crack is intended for headphones with impedance of 120 Ohm and up.
You could also consider building the AMB y1/y2 ,. it would be an excellent match, far better than the D1 / ODAC .
