Hi,
I would like to replace my desktop DAC and Emotiva Bas-x-A100 amp, that I used as desktop AMP, too many things on the desktop and the AMP consumes a lot of electricity be used as desktop amp these days.

I like the onebox solution for a desktop and I was thiking in a Loxjie A30, sabaj A4 or Aymia D03.
I listen music on headphones (HD 560s) or passive speakers (90dB sensitivity), max 1m distance, so I dont need killer power either.

I know the Loxjie A30 has been measured here and recommended, but I wonder if the Sabaj A4, can be a contender, can not find any measurements on it.

Thanks for any advice.

The Dac in the Loxjie is just OK, and the headphone out is only for easy to drive headphones. The Topping DX3+ and the SMSL A300 seem like a great combo. If you are not afraid of trying out unreviewed equipment you can try out the Topping MX3S. It's like the Loxjie A30 but seems to have a way better headphone amp and Dac.
