A desktop DAC/amp with serious power and balanced output for shockingly little - drives almost anything.
The desktop DAC and headphone amp most people should start with, now with USB-C and a 4.4mm balanced output.
Schiit's small headphone amp with a DAC built in this time, so one box on the desk does the whole job, and it is made in California.
