I've decided to build another rig to accompany me to college as it is too cumbersome to bring a CD player, desktop amp, and all my CDs to a dormitory. This amp will NOT be used for portable headphones, only full sized headphones (W5000s, perhaps a HD650 or HFI 780 in the future). I need a dac/amp combo so I've narrowed it down to the following:
-HR Portable Micro amp w/ DAC (~$600)
-Headamp Pico w/ DAC (~$500)
edit: RSA Predator should be added to this list also.
Basically, portability is not a large concern, so the smaller footprint of the pico should not play a huge factor in my decision. I am purely looking for the best sound quality in a dac/amp combo. Any alternative suggestions are welcome
