As the title says, I'm looking for a budget DAC/AMP that will connect to both my headphones (unbalanced) and studio monitors (balanced). I currently have the Schiit Modi 2/ Magni 2 Uber, but I cannot connect the studio monitors with this setup.

I was thinking of getting the Jotunheim and selling this current setup. Any reason not to do this? Are there better options?

The Jotunheim is one of few all in one devices with this many connectivity options especially for the price. The only thing is, if possible you will want to get a balanced cable for the headphones to take full advantage of the amp (significantly more power in balanced mode and perhaps other benefits).
