Need help on a USB DAC+AMP for Denon AT-D5000!

Hi Guys,

 

I need and advice on a little USB DAC + AMP combo to power up my new Denon AT-D5000s. I have a very high class Hi-Fi system with much experience in that field, but have almost none with Headphones/AMPs. The Denons were an impulsive purchase, due to a very nice deal I had on them. now while listening to my Hi-Fi system I can straigth hook up the Cans to my Amplifier, which a great result, I would also be able to use my PC/Macbook Air as source from time to time.

 

My requirements are:

USB and preferable COAX/TosLink Digital inputs

Stereo Chinch - Outs

Ability to process 24/96 Audio formats, as I have a great collection of those.

 

also a price must not go above 100$-130$ as this is not going to be my first source for music.

 

I have few devices on my list that are meeting my needs like FiiO E10, but it has issues with Hiss/Buzz when not playing music, and I do not want to buy bad engineered product. 

Another products that I found are:

 

AUNE HIFIDIY.NET Mini USB DAC + Headphone Amp MK2 - ~150$

 

D2 Topping Amp Amplifier Headphone + USB Optical Coaxial DAC ~ 130$

 

Problems with above 2 are lack of reviews and that they are shipped from china meaning possible Customs issues here in Europe as well as lack of warranty beyond paypal.

 

I would be very glad if you could help me as I am total newby! :)

I have the exact same question with the difference that at the moment I'm only planning on buying D5000's and that my budget would be higher. Using Nuforce uDac with my M50's at the moment, was thinking I'd probably get a lot more out from cans like D5000's with a better DAC/amp unit or combo.

 

So I'd most probably benefit a lot if someone knowledgeable responded here. No intention to steal your thread, OP. :D

 

Cheers.
