I'm currently set for a Yulong D100, which would meet my remaining budget after buying my headphones (around 300 euros). I like the idea of having both DAC and amp within the same unit, but if somebody thinks there are better options out there for a similar amount of money i wouldn't mind hearing it. I'm pretty new to this whole business, heh.

The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...

The Maverick D1 has pretty much all you're in looking for in one package or alternatively you can go for a ASUS Xonar ST/STX card which wouldn't be external but it's more compact/space saving and sounds pretty good for it's price range.

The Maverick D1, in my opinion, is not a good headphone amp. I had one and it was by far the most disappointing and regretful audio purchase I have ever made. For starters, the noise floor on the headphone amp was extremely high.
No comments on the Yulong? I'm reading through the thread/review on this very forum and it seems like for the money is one of the best deals available. Plus the DAC is supposed to be good enough to use with a good dedicated amp if i ever feel like buying one in the future. But i would rather have further confirmation since i already bought the HD600 so i would like to know if there's better options specifically for those headphones.
I have HD650's and I'm interested in people's opinions in that price range myself.
have you looked into NuForce stuff? I have HD600s running with their Icon HDP and they sound fantastic, they're a bit higher than your price range, I can probably get a used one for 400, or you can get HD which doesnt have a preamp and is 100 bucks cheaper i believe.

Audio Gd NFB-12 does a pretty decent job with the 650's.
