Hello, I am looking for a dac amplifier to use in the pc for music and games, it would be to move some philips shp9600 and some hifiman he400se, budget about 150 euros approx. I would also say that I would connect active speakers by RCA, that when the headset is connected the sound does not come out of the speakers.

I had thought about FIIO K11 normal,Fosi Audio SK02,topping DX1 even in the topping DX3 but I don't know what suits me,

thank you
 
Hi @Thearkymen! Welcome to ASR.

I'm not aware of any DAC+Amp combo unit that automatically disables the Line out once a headphone is connected.

It's certainly not the case for the DX1 and DX3.

DX1 Line out is always active and DX3 requires manually switching outputs with the remote.

The K11 can switch between Line/Headphone out by double-pressing the volume knob.

I could not find any info regarding switching Line/Phone out on the SK02.

I know the Atom Amp 2 automatically disables Line out with a headphone connected and the L30II makes switching easy with a toggle switch on the front.

Topping DX5 II is coming out any day now, I'd wait to see what new features this provide that may suit you.
