Hi, I have been looking into getting a dac and headphone amplifier. I have no experience with both.
Right now I'm leaning towards a khadas tone board(122 € ) and a JDS Labs Atom(150 € )
The headphone price range will be between a dt770 and hd 650, I will have to listen to a couple of different headphones when I get the dac and amp.
I will also be using the khadas and Atom signal for my integrated amplifier(using the atom as a pre amplifier) and speakers, so the quality of that signal is equally important.
-Is there something better at this pricepoint?
-Will the signal from the Atom to my integrated amp be good? And where in the chain should I adjust the volume? Would i be better off down the line with a seperate dac for my integrated amp?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
