Currently using an ipod classic with apple lossless and ortofon e-q7 iems.
This is primarily used at work while sitting at my desk.
I'm looking for a DAC, amp, and possibly a dock if required. These don't have to be portable. An all in one unit would be nice due to the lack of room on my desk.
I'd prefer something with tubes if possible.
Budget is around $500
The main issue is that it's difficult to enjoy this setup after listening to my home stereo. It lacks some of the warmth and resolution, and simply just doesn't sound as real.
Home stereo if it matters:
Salk HT2-TL speakers
Eastern Electric Minimax DAC
Audio by Van Alstine Ultra SL preamp
Audio by Van Alstine Ultra+ Double 550 amp
Logitech Squeezebox duet
GIK room treatments
Thanks for the help
