DAC/Amp for HD800 with pre-amp volume control

[Sonic Rainboom]

Hello,

Im looking for dac/amp combo for my HD800.
Also im gonna get decent studio speakers soon for music listening,
probably M-Audio M3-8s.
So I was wondering if there are devices, that can make it all in one box,
and meet all my requirements.

I already found some, but im looking for more products to hunt,
if you have good suggestions. And im not sure if they are good or not.

So I would like
-Good DAC
-Decent amplifier for my HD800
-Balanced headphone output would be nice too
(I dont have balanced cable yet, so not necessary)
-Works as a pre-amp for my monitors (with volume control)
-Balanced XLR outputs for monitors

My budget is about 800€ max..

Im in Europe, and im willing to buy used.
Or from China, but that is a bit risky.

What I found so far
-Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus (cheap, but audio quality is lacking)
-Some TEAC-models (audio quality still lacking?)
-Yulong/Audio-GD products (some of these seem fine, gotta find used maybe)
-Audiolab M-DAC (plus) (not sure about this, no balanced hp-out?)
-Asus Essence III (quite expensive, not sure about this)

And some other models I can't remember.

... honestly - considering your comments about what you researched, with your requirements and your budget limitations - I don't think there is anything that will satisfy you.
There are a ton of options I can think of (good dacs, good amps for HD800 etc.) but none of them fits your budget (even used) and all your requirements at the same time, well i cant think of any ...
maybe somebody else knows more - otherwise you might need to adjust your budget or requirements ...
Anyway good luck
