I currently have a Nuforce Icon HDP as my home desktop DAC/preamp/headphone amp, fed via USB from a Mac mini. Speakers are Dynaudio BM5 MKIII active monitor speakers, headphones are AKG 701s.
I want to bring the Icon HDP to work to use it there, which means I'll need to buy something new to fill its role at home.
Between the two choices above which do you think gives the best sound quality trade benefits for the money?
The poll choice is basically between putting more money into the amp or more money into the DAC.
