At this point I have tried enough headphones for my liking and have returned to the HD6XX’s. Now I want to try them with a balanced amp and dac.
I have one main question that I couldn’t find while googling. If my music source is a macbook pro, how would I connect it to a balanced amp? I assume I cannot use usb to get a balanced connection because usb is digital and xlr is analog. Correct me if I am wrong about anything but this is what I am gathering from googling about the subject.
What would be a good balanced dac and amp to pair with the HD6XX’s? Would be great if it would be an all in one but not necessary. Budget is $500 and I am okay with buying used. I need it to have a optical input as well so I can use it with my ps4 when I want to play games.
I was thinking about the Topping DX7S for an all in one or the THX AAA 789 for just the amp. Thanks in advance!
