I'm searching for DAC/Headphone AMP combo which would have:
1. Multiple source inputs - 3x digital inputs. (USB, TOS and COAX in)
2. 1x digital out to adapt to AES Active Monitors (Genelec)
3. Headphone AMP - Single-ended analog output.
4. Optional: Balance XLR out
The idea behind it is to have one simple system to control my audio setup. From desktop pc, laptop and streamer/gaming console to Active Monitors(Digital)/Headphones.
So far I found:
Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus has it all but it's older model and it's quite hard to find. Plus, I'm not sure how good of a value it is.
Soncoz QXA1 and QXD1 Stack could be good alternative, but I would prefer to have one box over stack if possible.
It's very simple to connect one device but switching between multiple sources complicates everything. And to have one device to do it all seems impossible.
is there anything else that I'm missing?
Looking for suggestions and ideas.
Thanks,
T.
