Budget: MAX $1000 for everything
Requirement: Compact Desktop AMP/DAC (one box) + Headphones
I figured: $400 for the amp and $600 for the headphones but it might be an even split too ($500 each).
AMP/DAC: ASGARD with Multibit DAC, OR Topping DX7 Pro (a bit expensive at $650) OR JDS ELEMENT II OR iFi xDSD (don't need the portability) OR please suggest
Headphones: Beyer Dynamic 1990 Pro from Amazon, OR DROP/Dan Clark AEON Open X, OR MASSDROP/FOCAL ELEX OR please suggest
I am currently leaning toward the AEON Open X $499 and Schitt Asgard (with Multibit DAC) $449.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
P.S.
Current AMP/DACs: K5 Pro, Aune T1S, iFi Zen Can, Aune X1S Pro (with X5s and XP2), and iFi Hip DAC (older blue one).
Current Headphones: AKG 712 Pro (2), Beyer DT 880 Pro (2), Hifiman Sundara (2), and Audeze something (forgot the model but it was around $300 when I got it).
I have 2 setups in 2 offices and 2 at home (living room and bedroom).
