Hi everyone,
 
I am shopping for a replacement for my iBasso D10 to correctly feed the Sennheiser HD650.
The NuForce Icon HDP is currently my #1 choice, I would just like to know how does it compares to the D10 in term of DAC, how does it pair with the HD650 and what could compete with it in this price range?
 
Thanks!

From readings, it is said that the uDAC is better than the D4 and that the D4 is slightly better than the D10 in terms of a DAC. HDP as a DAC is a step above the uDAC and its amp is very impressive compared to the uDAC.

I only found this post saying it sounds great with the HD650.

I think it would be best if you PM HeadphoneAddict regarding the DAC comparisons because he has all of the above I believe except the HD650.
