Hi, I'm confused about the idea of headamps with both the AMP and a USB DAC.
Do the two internal chips work in unison when plugged into USB?

How do Combo Amps work?

I "THINK" what happens with most USB Dac/Amps is first the signal gets sent t the DAC, then is Amplified by the amp. So not together, but just like an external amp would be connected to a dac.

The DAC handle the conversion (digital to analog), then send the analog signal into the amplifier. So they work in line, not parallel (unison).
