Fellow members,
I come to ask for your help: I want to buy a new desktop DAC/Amp combo (they do not need to be together in one device, but is is prefered). I currently have a Micca Origen+ (1st gen) and have had no problems with it so far, since I used to pair it only with somewhat hard-to-drive headphones. Now that I bought a IEM, the Micca can only be used in low-levels, and having a channel imbalance up to almost 10 o'clock on the volume knob it is really a pain in the neck.
Also, since I saw Amir's review of the G2, I have been questioning whether the problems he mentioned are also present in my version, and I decided to upgrade.
So, the question: what DAC/Amp can you recomend (up to US$ 400,00) that is able to drive both sensitive IEMs and hard-to-drive headphones while keeping low levels of noise and distortion? Initially I was looking into the JDS Elements and but now the Topping DX3Pro really got my attention. Is there any other recommendation besides those?
Thanks a lot!
