Hello guys I'm new here and I don't know too much about this stuff. I am looking to go from tidal on a computer to some variant of the DCA Aeon. Also, I listen to metal so I like to play fairly loud music. I understand that the DCA Aeon is very power hungry but I don't know how much I will need to get the most out of it. Some of the ideas that I have had are
SMSL M500Mkii (seems too low power)
Topping E30ii>L30ii (Seems decent, but would balanced be better?/ provide enough power)
Topping E50>L50 (Kinda expensive, especially if I go balanced bc the Drop version comes with only an unbalanced cable)
Some cheap DAC into the A30Pro which seems very high powered even on unbalanced.
I am also trying to reduce price as well so... Any thoughts to help me out?
Thanks guys!!!
