Happy new year to everyone!
After my quest for a portable combo of nice IEM's + Portable DAC/Amp (which ended up in acquiring the iBasso IT01 + Topping NX4 DSD), it's now time to go after the DAC + Amp Combo form desktop use at home. They'll be driving a set of HIFIMAN's HE400i headphones.
I don't have a fixed budget but I'm looking for the best value-for-the-money set.
As for the headphone amp, after reading several reviews and tests, I am almost decided in getting the JDS Labs Atom. But other suggestions are welcomed.
Regarding the DAC I am thinking on the Topping D10 USB DAC - at € 85,00 Euros is a bargain.
I also looked at the DX3 Pro at 219€, which I am aware could be use standalone, since is a DAC and Amp, and deals with higher resolution files than the D10 (not that I use those higher res DSD files...), and I also noticed the D50 unit (€ 249,00) which, DAC-wise, in specs seems to be very close to the DX3Pro. What are the differences?!
Any other recommendations are very welcomed.
