I'm seeking balanced inputs for desktop powered speakers to a DAC and AMP (or combo) + headphones. What's the best quality implementation for this setup that's cost effective?
The EX5 comes to mind, but I believe the AMP is lacking compared to the L30 (and that's only RCA inputs). The 10Db (ok, D90SE) + A90 seems to be best quality (for Topping), but is there anything with similar quality that has a lower cost? 10Db + A30Pro? 10Db + L50? E50 + L50? What's the best quality/price option? Which option should offer the longest longevity (durability & non-obsolescence) without needing to be replaced?
