hello, this is my first post on headhifi so please apologize if my questions are that of a beginner. I express myself in French and translate my questions with google trad, sorry also if I can not make myself understood. I want to improve my HD800S and my HD6XX that I currently use with my UAD sound card and my apogee groove I make music). For my non-critical relaxing listening I would like something less digital and I would like to make my entry into the world of tube amps. I am currently hesitating between the darkvoice and the XDUOO TA-03s, in the case of darkvoice I plan to release the sounds of my mac with apogee groove in rca, in the case of XDUOO I would pass directly through the integrated dac. Which of the two options is the best? Is apogee groove good when used in this context or is it better to have a dac integrated with the amp? I thank you in advance for having read me and I thank in advance the possible answers.

Both are equally good! I would go for the one you prefer / can get cheapest.

thank you for your reply. It reassures me to know that the xduoo is good because it corresponds more to my expectations in terms of size and portability. Nevertheless, I would like to understand the theory. Is it advisable to go out of an interface like apogee groove to a rca source? thank you in advance
