I'm looking to build, actually more accurately "assemble" a HagUSB. I already built myself a cmoy which I like. With this new DAC I assume I'll need to use it with an amp, since it merely provides line out.
I'm looking to build another small amp to put in the same enclosure as the DAC. (with EMI/RFI shielding) The CMOY is incredibly easy and cheap to build, but I wouldn't mind trying something new or different, especially if it's better suited with the use of this HagUSB. My main goals are to still remain portable as it will be used on a laptop and to have everything in one. I know the DAC can be powered off the USB bus but at 5v, that limits the AMP to batteries only, right?
I'm driving mostly small headphones, Sony MDR-7506's, Shure E4C, UE Superfi 5 pro, Koss porta pro and Grado SR-60's. I would like the ability to drive a set of DT 990s in the future though.
