Best Combo/All-in-One DAC/AMP for £250-£350?

[WLC-1989]

I plan to upgrade the 595s, but not quite yet. I'd like to focus on getting off the Realtek before I consider upgrading the headphones.

Concerning the Compass: How does this compare with the Pico? Also, I've done some more Googling and come across the C2C also by Audio-GD. Is there any C2C (or indeed, any amp) + DAC combo in the £300-£350 which would beat the Compass or Pico?

Thanks for your continued help, guys!

I think a Cantate or Keces would be great integrated options.

The key thing is to upgrade your source to a higher quality. Start with the source and all follows.

Thanks for the recommendations, 1UP. I'll add them to my list of 'maybes'.

Do you have any idea how the two you have suggested compare with the Compass, Pico and/or the Zero? I'm finding it difficult to get direct comparisons of these units.
