Hey I'm looking to get a new amp setup I'm not sure if I should get the Micro Dac/Amp Combo or just the Desktop Amp the 100 dollar price difference isn't really a factor I'm just not sure what way would be better to go.  I'm picking them up at a local Headphone Shop "Peach Budz" they have the combo in stock they would have to order the desktop amp in for me.
 
Thanks,

Headroom makes great products. I bet you would be happy with either. What headphones will you be driving?

Then try the one they in stock, so if it's nice you can buy it right then and there. It's always better to try audio things with your own material be it CDs or headphones etc.. A mismatch is costly in posting fees when buying unseen.

I have had my micro stack for 3 years and it has performed admirably.  It powers all my cans equally well.  You couldn't go wrong with either though.

The headphones I would be using include:
 
Beyerdynamic DT990 (600 ohm)
Sennheiser HD 650
Grado PS 500
 
another amp I had considered from the headroom line is the
 
Portable Micro Amp with a built in dac
 
for the price though I imagine to include all together and give it batteries for less it must have some lower end components in it.
