My current setup is computer going directly into Dayton DTA-120, used with a pair of Sennsheisers HD280 or Micca bookshelves. Not an audiophile's setup by any means, but gets the job done.
I'm about to throw a turntable into that mix, so need a desktop amp with switched inputs, analog input and being able to drive both speakers Micca (or maybe Pioneers) and headphones.
So far, the only two in the sub-$200 range that I've found are:
- Sabaj A4
- Topping MX3
- did I miss anything? are there any more "all in one" options (I do realize there's many more options if I consider a standalone DAC + desktop amp) in that price range?
- which one of the two is a better option?
- would these two be *at least* as good as DTA-120? wouldn't want to step down in terms of audio quality -- and wouldn't object to improve a bit
