I Need A really Powerful Good DAC. There Is no price range

[Kendrick]

I already own the Audio-gd NFB-11 and I really need something that has more power. Thanks

More power:

2.4 watts. Enough power for HE-6's. Likewise, it is one of the best sounding amps I've ever heard. It has different settings, so you can use it on your IEM's if so desired. If it's a bit overkill, G1217 has a bunch of amps. You can even order it as a kit if you want to DIY it yourself.

I haven't heard it, but I think the new iFi Pro outputs something like 10W/ch for headphones - more than enough to annihilate your cans (and your hearing) in most contexts, but probably just what the doctor ordered for some less efficient cans (e.g. planars, K1000, etc). CI Audio also has the VHP-2 which outputs something like 2W and is very robust - I owned the predecessor that amp (VHP-1) and it was quite good (CI Audio themselves are also quite good to deal with).

Im guessing you want a combined DAC and AMP that is more powerful than the NFB-11.  
 
What headphone are you powering?  The NFB-11 should be able to drive most headphones to very loud levels.  What is causing you to look for more power?

I'm using the mod house audio argon's they are a T50 mod. Yes something with DAC and amp or separate doesn't matter.

What is lacking from the NFB-11?  Its putting multiple watts into your headphones based on the ratings, should be enough to make you deaf.  
 
Also, what is your budget?

I don't $800 and under. I love the nfb but I just need a little more power. Something that is still good. If there's nothing in that price range then I can increase it

I have an NFB-11 and use the outputs to feed a Garage1217 Project Polaris AMP. SETTING THE NFB-11 to variable allowed me to crank the volume on both the NFB-11 AND THE Project Polaris as I see fit.

I usually listen to my NFB-11 at between 10 and 12 o'clock, but I can crank it all the way without dying, but add the Project Polaris and it get louder than I can bare. It will make you head explode!
