Hi all,
For almost 11 years I've been using the Dr. DAC2 DX on a daily basis for my PC/home studio setup, but for the past couple of months it has been producing a terrible distortion to the right audio channel every time I raise or lower the volume. I've been living with it, but it's now becoming so annoying that I guess it's time to look for something new.
The reason why I went with the Dr. DAC2 was that it had an output switch which allowed me to send the audio signal to either my speakers or my headphones. Which, when you're living with someone, is pretty much essential. The other reason was that it had a built-in headphone amp with a specialized high impedance output which, also, was essential for my 250 ohm DT770 Pro. I am, therefore, looking for a replacement DAC/Amp unit with these same features. So, to recap:
Requirements:
Any other recommendations that you may have for me are, of course, very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Requirements:
- Output switch (speakers/headphone)
- Built-in amp strong enough to power 250 ohm headphones
- S/PDIF or USB input
- Budget of around $500.-
- Black device
- The smaller the better
Any other recommendations that you may have for me are, of course, very much appreciated.
Thanks!
