Hello, I would like some suggestions on a portable USB-C DAC to buy. I will just use it for my laptop as it has really terrible audio. The headphones to drive are cheap ones, costed something like 50€ish, some Sony ones. Nothing crazy. If possible, I would prefer one with no "fixed" cables, I...

Hello Everyone! I hope you are doing well. I'm new here, please let me know if I should put this question in the newbie forums instead. Can the Topping D30 output audio to a portable headphone amplifier without overpowering/damaging said amplifier? I'm currently using an Xtrempro portable...
