My current setup is as follows:
Creative-xfi card -> Cambridge audio A500 -> paradigm titans
-> vintage harmon/kardon amp -> ath-m50
I use both my speakers and headphones equally and I switch between them. For this reason I really like having a separate volume knob for both my speakers / headphones. Anyways, the h/k amp has started to make some white noise and I am enjoying it. Because of this I am looking to get some kind of desktop amp to replace the old h/k integrated amp.
I have done some reading and I know that the ATM-M50 headphones don't NEED an amp, but I enjoy the convenience of two separate volume knobs. Can someone recommend something for under $100 (if possible).
I saw some comments about DIY amps. I would not be against that if it is reasonably easy or there are good instructions.
