Dac and Amp for HD650

As it says, I'm new in the area so my first thoughts landed on:

	Musical Fidelity M1 HPA		+ -	5 990 kr	5 990 kr
	Supra 2RCA-2RCA Dual 1m		+ -	465 kr	465 kr
	Supra Trico RCA 2m		+ -	510 kr	510 kr
	Musical Fidelity M1-DAC M1 DAC		+ -	4 990 kr	4 990 kr

With a deeper digging, I was told that the power that went through the HPA were 90 mW,which isn't good enough. But I checked out some new equipment and I believe HD650 handles around 200 mW since a rival does and HD900 can handle around 500 mW. Ordinary I don't like to mix different manufacturers, but it might be a must in this case.

I'll be making a list, it questionable if I can get every amp I picked out for the price I first found. So I'll be making a list with what likely is the best one down to the worst and If I can't get a good offer on the first, then I'll head for the second.

I found this Dac which looks good, the M1-Dac looks good as well but the quality of the part is questionable.

This is the Dac I found interesting:

I'll either go for the Coax or an Optic link. They'll be connected to a computer, but their stats are better than USB are nowdays. Not to mention that Optic doesn't need the same isolation.

AMP

Lehmann Audio Black Cube Linear Pro

http://www.lehmannaudio.com/assets/site/home_audio/pre_amps/linear/pdf/EN_linear_screen.pdf[/url] Unsure due to the high price. Rather expensive in Sweden, but Thomann got a good price for it(I'll need to check them up first).

Burson Audio HA-160

Price is fine, but I don't know enough about it.

Apparently high failure rates:

Another issue is that many of these amps are upgraded instead of that the manufacturer creates a whole new product, so a test from 2004 might not tell the whole story.

In the future, like august or later then it's possible that I buy a new HD800. I'm buying HD650 now since the alternative is to expensive with the rest of the equipment, HD650 got good quality as I have these currently. Well, they have done their part hit and it's time to replace them.

Got any good Dac or amp to recommend, then it  would aid my search a lot. I'm going to try buying it all in Sweden, it's a preferable safety in the case of issues appearing.

I might not need so much help. It seems as I'll go for Burson HA160D, I read some reviews and it's questionable if the Dac inside it can compare against a standalone Dac. But the reviews seems fine and this would give me one single manufacturer which could likely improve the quality of the dac and amp.

Since it would be to expensive to buy HD800 at the moment, I'll do with HD650 and in turn I wont need to buy a new amp later.

The only Amp that is in my view perfect for HD 650 would be Lehmann Audio Black Cube Linear Pro, but Burson seems to do better with the combination and effect output. I was unsure of Burson HA160 before since it didn't have any output for more than headphones, but the 160D do. Now I just need to verify that I can buy from the store who doesn't have it in their storage yet.

Apparently it wont be in storage for another 4 weeks if andthere's no telling if it'll be delays.

Since this dac/amp isn't the best product for HD800, it looks like the future headpones will likely be AKG who're more focused on bass. On the other hand I don't see an amp/dac who can fully run HD800 in the same price range on the market.
