I've been looking at so many Dacs this week, my head is spinning. Here's my goal. Take the lossless music on my MacBook Pro computer, hookup an external Dac that has a headphone jack of either size (1/4" or 1/8") and analog outputs either RCA or 3.5mm to run to some Audyssey speakers I bought.
Oh, and have to keep cost under $200 for the Dac/headphone amp.
Has anyone heard of Audinst or Topping? Amazon sells them both. I find lots of USB Dacs that are only meant for headphones in this price range, but also need outputs to go to my speakers so I can get the best sound there too.
i'm willing to try any brand and know if I get a good external Dac, the quality of the music reproduction to my speakers and headphones will be much better.
