I discovered this Mini Desktop DAC and Amp on Amazon.com but could not locate any information about this company or this model here at Head-Fi. It is listed on Amazon.com as "Desktop Mini USB DAC, DEAFidelity Leaf Audio DSD-2 Amanero Mini Digital to Analog Audio Converter, Hi-res 32 bit/384 KHz...

One of my main concerns is my hearing as I am 60 y/o and at my last check in 12/2016 my range was 7Hz to 16kHz so I lost some of my highs!! As for the funds, I learned you usually get what you pay for, usually. I would love to spend less, who wouldn't, but I am willing to spend more for quality...

It appears the proper, if not just the best way to start here is an introduction. So here it goes. I am probably a little older than the average person who posts on this site (60 y/o) but I love music, especially high quality high resolution sound. I first started listening to music on an AM...
