Topic: Is it possible to EQ warmth into sound via DAC? -speakers: Focal Aria
Im buying a pair of Focal Aria 906 and currently have a RME ADI-2 DAC.
I'm researching different amps with prices from $500 to 2000. The more expensive ones giving I guess a more desirable sound.
My question is, since I have a really nice DAC, can't I just EQ warmth into the sound so that it wouldnt matter which amp I buy?
My thoughts: I like a warmer sound so I was going to buy a Willsenton R8 tube amp for $1500. I plan to use this for 12+ hours a day and sometimes accidentally left on all night so I'd assume my tubes would only last a couple of years. So why not get just a $500 solid state amp like a Yamaha A-S501 or emotiva BasX A2 and then just EQ warmth via DAC. Would it be possible to EQ it to sound like a tube amp?
I'm new to all of this btw.
