I don't come to this forum often, but I was hoping to get some advice on a good amp / dac combo for an AKG Q701. My wife just got an office job and appropriated my headphones, but she doesn't have an amp or a DAC and has been running them straight out of her computer. I would like to get her something in the $250 range that will do the job. I ran some searches and have across Fiio, and iBasso, and uDAC, but neither size nor portability really matter to me. It will just sit in her office next to her computer, so I was wondering if there is a consensus favorite in that price range for a desktop unit? The Matrix Cube is another option, and is in the ballpark range. It must have a USB input, a headphone amp, and be solid state. Thanks all!
