i currently own a campfire andromeda (low impedance) and looking for a DAC amp for desktop solutions

the smsl idea is perfect for me but it died not sure why. the blue light is on but it’s not detected on my pc even changing usb ports/ restarting comp/ reinstalling driver/ and even trying other pc

edit: remove budget!

Do you need it small like SMSL or can it be bigger?
nah size doesn’t matter! i actually don’t need to keep my budget! but most importantly it has an output impedance lower than 0.6!
