Hi guys,
 
As you can see by the title, I want an Amp/DAC, preferably in the same box, with balanced output and usb input. This is meant for a bedroom setup with an Audeze LCD-2 or Beyer T1 and a laptop, and I dont really want to deal with 2 boxes.
 
Right now, the only one I can find is the Audio-Gd NFB-10. I'm definitely willing to buy used, and my budget is ~600 usd. I'm just not sure where to look for the very specific requirements I need. Any guidance would be much appreciated! Thanks!

I am in an almost similar situation as the OP as the T1 is in my shortlist apart from the Audeze LCD2(and DT880/600). Not too sure if the headphone output from some of the models above can optimally drive the T1 as the DAC Magic Plus and Matrix Mini-i are DAC only without a dedicated headphone amp.
