So, I'm currently waiting for a pair of AKG K702s to arrive, but in the meantime I want to get going on finding a good combo dac/amp for my sources. I'd like to spend under 200, and get something that can drive the 702s and other mid-range cans (like the Beyer DT880s, for example). My question is, how do I use something like an ipod touch or portable cd player with the DAC/amp combos, because most just have USB and RCA inputs in the back. Do I just use a 3.5 output from the player to RCA input to the dac/amp? I should add, I have Audioengine 5 speakers, and I'd like whatever I buy to help out with those, as well.
Right now, I have the following units in consideration. Any opinion and help is most welcome!
AUNE HIFIDIY.NET Mini USB DAC + Headphone Amp MK2- about $160
