Hey guys,
 
wanted to ask if there's any DAC/AMP combo, or a single device that is sub $100 and is as good as the Schiit Magni/Modi combo?
 
Looking to power a pair of HD650s, but don't have $240 atm to afford the Schiit stack. Was thinking about the Monoprice DAC/AMP or the Fiio E10K, but from what I've read they are definitely not good enough for the HD650.
 
A Chinese alternative in the sub $100 range will also be an option.
 
Thank you in advance!

If I only had $100 or so, I'd probably look towards a sound card with a headphone amp like a sound blaster Z something. Much better DAC than $50 will buy you in the dedicated DAC market and a passable amp as well.
