Amir would love my setup an RME ADI-2 FS paired with a real hertic, a tube amplifer lol (monoprice liquid platinum). You know what, the ADI-2's headphone out actually sounds fine, especially with a little EQ. It's a great fallback device. I think people sometimes think something must measure well to sound good. I happen to enjoy tube distortion, and I won't pretend it measures well, im ok with that. It's particularly absurd once certain inaudible measurements have been reached. Im not going to put a 135 SINAD device on some pedal-stool when I can't hear any difference between it and a 100 sinad device, it gets pretty ridiculous. At a certain point, more is just more, not better.
