Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Hard question to answer.

I noticed the difference while actually listening to the unit playing music. I cannot advise on any other option as I did not use any other option with the DAC. I am talking about the DAC on it's own. As for the headphone amp function, when I got the Yulong I also, about the same time, got new HD 600 headphones and an 18 foot cable from Cardas. Using the new headphones, cable and headphone amp function it sounded rough at first but eventually after many hours of listening it improved dramatically. How many hours? I do not know....maybe 20 albums, maybe 40....but improve it did. What part of that chain changed? How in the hell would I know??! But change it did.
So, my conclusion is that the DAC feature and the headphone feature break in independently of each other (not rocket science).
No, I do not think your amps need to be on. But if they are not you will not hear the transition from new to sweetness. Even though you deny it exists.
Have fun, relax and let your mind flow downstream.....
