Hey.
I'm looking to buy DAC/AMP for under 300$.
Currently it will be used with Audio-Technica ATH-M50 (and Audio Engine A2). Later on I plan to add mid-price Sennheiser/AKG(and better powered speakers though it shouldn't change much).
After some research it came down mainly to "Yulong U100" and "Matrix mini-i". There was many more recommendations but these seems like the best <300$.
The Yulong is ~100$ cheaper, the Matrix has "XLR balanced"(and some more) inputs which might come handy later on but are not a must for me.
The Yulong does not have switch between headphones/speakers so i'm not sure how I handle it when both connected(if someone know, please let me know).
If we'r talking only about the amp and the DAC quality, which one is a better?
Which one is better value for money?
If you listened to both and want to recommend other DAC/AMP at this price range, it also might be helpful.
Thanks.
