Hey all,
I have the HD598, HD6xx, HE400i, and the Stax L700. I currently use the audio-gd NFB28 amp & dac combo - thought I'd switch it for something better for the money.
I'm looking for balanced. Before you get the pitchforks, hear me out - I wired up my lower-volume headphones to balanced so that I don't have to fiddle with the volume when I switch between headphones - super convenient. Besides, balanced amps typically have multiple outputs (balanced and unbalanced), and being able to drive two pairs without a splitter is an added bonus. I'm also planning on getting a KGSSHV for the Stax, and that has balanced input only. So I have some valid reasons
According to the reviews here, the Topping DX7s looks like it measures incredibly well, and it fits the bill for what I want. I also looked at the RME ADI-2 Pro, but there's not much mention of the amp portion of it.
Any other equipment I should look at? I'm fine with buying a separate amp and dac.
