Hi All,

I want to set up a computer/amp/dac/headphone experience for my den.  I don't need it to travel, I just need it to sound good so I can show people how crappy their MP3's sound.



Here's what I have: Macbook Air w/2TB of storage for FLAC's, iPad 64gb, and a pair of Grado SR60s.  Oh, and I've got a couple grand sitting in my pocket.



Here's what I'm thinking: The WA7 Firefly looks wicked good. (http://www.wooaudio.com/products/wa7fireflies.html) That's $1000.  How would you connect the Macbook and the iPad to it?  I understand that the Mac's headphone out doubles as a Toslink, but do I care?  Do I need to get a Toslink cable?  What about the RCA inputs on the back - is that better or worse?



Also, I'm open to upgrading from the Grado's if I need to.  I've loved my SR60's, so I looked at the RS1i's for $700.  I know headphones are a personal choice, so this will elicit tons of opinion.



My musical taste ranges from Rock, Pop, Hip-Hop to Piano/Classical.  No jazz or twang.



It's all a bit overwhelming.  Any help would be appreciated!



Thanks,

Tim
