So I am in the market for a DAC/Amp in the $200ish range.
For within $10 of price, I can buy an iBasso d2+ (new), a Corda 2Move (used) or an emerald (used).
For a little more I can get the Emerald new, or a Fubar III ($229).
I have no idea what might make one superior to another and what would be the best in my price range. This is going to become a DAC only once my Mini3 is built, so if any of these don't make that possible, that would eliminate them.
Someone who understands this stuff better than I, PLEASE HELP!
I read the review of the 13 DAC/Amps but by the time I got through it all I was more confused than when I started. Portability is the least important feature as this will be desk-bound. Something that will resell easily would also be good, as a y1 is also on the to-do list for the near future, but I imagine all of these would be fairly easy to resell.
Thanks!
