I just learned my 8year old audioengine A5s are beyond repair and looking to shake up my whole headphone rig.
However, I just purchased a Schitt Modi 2 Dac and like the sound, and am still within my return period. The Schitt runs through an M^3 diy amp to HD 650s.
So, instead of replacing the A5s with another pair of self-powered monitors, I'd consider replacing the M^3 for an amp with speaker posts to drive a passive pair of monitors. Is trying to combined speaker and headphone amps too much of a compromise? Any capable amp in the $700 price range that would respectably outshine the M^3?
Thanks
