Hello, I want to upgrade from dt990 to audio techica adx5000.
Since my creative g6 only have 3.3 jack, i have to upgrade it too.
I was considering something like k9 pro , a30/d30 stack but i have read adx5000 sounds great with warm otl.
What do you recommend as amp / dac for adx5000 ?

Wow!
Been there done that…
MHDT Orchid NOS dac
Schiit Vali 2 +
Simply awesome pairing…
Yes the amp is only $149 ! A Steal.
The Dac is more like $1300 +/-.
I have tons of other much higher cost stuff but this is really a very very good setup for the ADX 5000s here.

Note: Yes not many reviews out there. Not the latest dac chip etc…Uses an early Phillips TDA 1541 NOS dac chip. Excellent and has a cult following!! LOL.
Made in Taiwan.
