Hi all,
I'm fairly new to this audio science and I need to get rid of my dirty PC sound card. I'm currently on Linux Mint 19.2 and no plans to use Windows.
I mainly listen to Spotify music (premium account, so MP3 320 kpbs I guess). Maybe Tidal or Kobuz accounts in the future. My spanking new headphone is an Audio Technika ATH-M40X (35 ohms).
I've read lots of threads, seen Z-Reviews videos. I can't still get a clear picture of what's the best device for a DAC+Headphone AMP combo (preferably, or with 2 units if there's a real benefit) being compatible with Linux (and if possible Plug & Play). Price tag between 50$ ~ 200 $.
So many devices between SMSL, FX-Audio, Topping, Schiit, FiiO, you name it.
Any advice, thread, article appreciated
Thanks for your help.
