Hi.
I'm new to audio gear.
I want to avoid using the PC's internal Realtak AC1200-VB DAC.
I have only stereo gear. AudioEngine5+ bookshelf speakers and ATH-A900X headphones.
I already use E-APO for my microphone and speakers. I read and saw nothing but good reviews about iFi Zen DAC for its the price point.
My other option was Schiit Hel 2, because of the microphone input and design that I like, but it's more expensive and I can't find it in Australia.
Besides, my Vivitar mic is a USB one.
So I wanted to know if I can still use E-APO for my gear and the Zen DAC. I want to keep using the profiles I have for my headphones/speakers but having them amped and converted using Zen DAC.
Or should I get the FiiO K5 Pro Desktop DAC & Headphone Amplifier?
Thoughts?
Thank you!
