A few months ago when I got my ProLINEs, I got an E-MU 0202 USB and thought that would be enough. The amp turned out to be too weak to drive my new cans, so I added a cheap Go-Vibe which makes the whole setup sing! I really love it.
What I don't love is this:
Because my interconnect isn't quite long enough, I have to prop the Go-Vibe up against the E-MU to make everything work. What a mess! It looks pretty patched together, and the angle makes it awkward to change the volume or plug/unplug my headphones.
I'm looking for a combination USB DAC/Amp that would sound as good or better for about $200. It doesn't have to be portable, but it does have to work with Mac and Windows. Hell, I wouldn't even mind having two separate boxes so long as it's marginally swankier than what I have now.
As always, any suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance for your help.
