Hi,
Today I have a HAD-1 DAC/AMP and I don't like the high impedance headphone output with no gain switch. Making it hard to use low impedance gear.
That's the only "bad" thing about the HAD-1 (except mediocre specs, but that doesn't bother me)
Are there any "cheap" DAC/preamp/headphoneamp like the HAD-1 that have a low impedance / gain switch? With a price below €300 in the EU?
I know that the RMI ADI-2 Pro FS tick all the boxes and are my end goal in the distant future.
What I need is USB, optical in and out, analogue in and out and a headphone jack with gain control. without the need for drivers, if possible.
I've searched but haven't found any good solution.
