[QUOTE="user 997, post: 443881, member: 997"] The Wyred4Sound mPRE is also a nice option that won't break the bank. Sports an excellent headphone amp, proper implemented ESS DAC and is fully balanced. Slightly cheaper than the DAC-2. [IMG]http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/w4s_mamp+mpre_5.jpg[/IMG] The Emotiva is also a very nice option but no DAC, but I like the subwoofer integration options and the phono stage. The best value for money option that I can think of is the Audio-GD NFB-28 which has an analogue input that can be set to variable or fixed along with a ESS9018 DAC and a fully balanced design.
