Good day everybody & I am happy to be with you,
This is my first post in this forum and I have some questions!
My very old setup was a fully balanced DAC/AMP combo (single unit) and I used expensive 4-pin XLR Headphones cables. Recently and for quite some time I have been searching for a way to upgrade and refresh the sound of my system within certain limits and without spending a lot on a single component which ended with acquiring the RME ADI-2 DAC, the sound coming from the single-ended connection of this small unit is mesmerizing, I use only dynamic Headphones.
I would love to use my 4-pin xlr Headphones cables again which is cool, but I need to know the recent and best possible amps under $1100 that can dance well with the rme unit.
PLEASE NO SCHIIT, NO AUDIO-GD, NO WOO AUDIO, NO VIOLECTRIC & LAKE PEOPLE, NO BENCHMARK AUDIO RECOMMENDATIONS, I SAY NO BECAUSE GENERALLY THEY ASK TOO MUCH FOR WHAT THEY OFFER OR IT IS SIMPLY OUT OF MY BUDGET.
I really wonder, do I really need a balanced amp?!
Thanks for your help! Have a nice day & enjoy the music!
