It's my first post so hi everyone!
I need an amp/DAC combo to connect both my HD598s and LSR305s. The cans were fine with the on-board audio (mobo is an Asus maximus v formula- has a glorified ALC898 iirc.) but since the addition of speakers, I've been getting horrible noise when using the speakers generated by the GPU. So I basically need an external amp/dac which also has a pre-out to control the volume. Don't really care about the on-board sound features so usb connection would be fine. Budget is a little tight, I'd say around 100€.
Thanks in advance!
Btw. I live in Germany
An afterthought: Can I get a Magni 2 and use it with the on-board dac? Would I be able to connect both the speakers and headphones to it? I'd just add a Modi 2 later if that would work. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm still what you would consider a noob in the audiophile world.
