I need an external DAC/amp strictly for PC use, and even after reading @MLE's reviews and this entire thread I'm not sure if I should be going with the G6 or the GSX-1000/1200. Pricing up here in Canada is close between the two ($200 for the G6, but the GSX-1200 is $257 on Amazon right now). I currently have Shure SRH-840s and an old pair of Senn HD-555s, though I might pick up the HD 58X. I know the G6 will do a better job of driving the 58X, even without external gear, but the software seems flakey and some users report clicking. General consensus seems to be that the GSX-1000/1200 has slightly better surround and "just works". I dual boot a PC/Hackintosh, and while my X-fi Forte still works well on the PC side I can't get it working in macOS.
Any opinions from current G6 or GSX-1000/1200 owners? Thanks in advance.
