I'm looking for a full solution for listening to headphones while at home. I'd say that the setup will be for Darth Beyers and a higher-end Grado someday, but I may spend that money to upgrade my DT770s and SR-60s on a different headphone like perhaps a K701 or Proline 750 instead, so I don't know what set I'll be using the most.
I would imagine getting a home amp (I do not plan on ever using it outside of my home, I'm fine with the sound out of my iPod for quick commutes) that has a USB DAC built-in is cheaper, what are some recommendations in this price range? I am mostly focused on sound quality but also do not want something ugly
The other option is getting a home amp like the Gilmore Lite or something similar and a USB DAC in addition to it. I have heard great things about the Gilmore which is why I brought it up, but I know nothing about standalone DACs, any recommendations for that?
I would rather not spend more than ~$300-350 this time around. Sound will be out of the USB port of Apple computers. Thank you.
