I agree the DAC is great as I have it connected into my system paired against a PWD MKII and it holds its own very well. I run it balance into a RSA Apache. The PWD MKII is also running balance into the Apache. On the headphone amplifier side, I think it is a very good headphone amplifier but I prefer my RSA Apache or even the RSA Raptor to the PureDac's headphone amplifier.
Makes sense. I'm not familiar with the RSA stuff aside from a few of the older portable, but the amps you mention are both fairly expensive dedicated units. Si it makes sense that the built-in amp might not beat them. Still, I find it pretty amazing for what it is.
