I'm looking for a DAC that has headphone amp together with preamp/line out for my desktop setup.
I have a Audioengine A5 speaker and DT990 Pro headphone. It would be a plus if the DAC/amp has a switch to change between headphone and speaker out.
On my list I have:
Audinst HUD-MX2 - was my first choice, but maybe there's something better? It's very affordable and has everything I need.
Aune X1 pro - how does this compare to the Audinst? It has DSD support which nice, although I'm not sure if I will ever use it.
Aune T1 MKII - it doesn't have a switch for different output.
Audio-GD NFB 15 - looks like the best option with lots of features.
Schiit Magni2 and Modi2
Wyred for Sound uDAC from classified section - shipping to Malaysia might not be possible.
Nuprime uDSD - I'm not sure if this is the same league as those mentioned the above.
Audioengine D1 - weak headphone amp?
There are a lot more options in the classified section with reasonable price. However shipping to Malaysia would be a barrier, and I don't have the credibility yet. I did some transactions on OCN.net and fredmiranda.com if those count
Anyway, I would like to hear opinions from the community. I would prefer the best value option, and need someone to convince me on the options above.
Thanks in advance!
