okay so long time ago i bought my sennheiser hd 650 and ive been very happy with them , a couple of days ago i finally took the plunge to get a nice amp for them Vincent Audio KHV-1pre headphone amplifier/preamplifier is the amp i bought , but i dont have a dac i need one that will be good with my my amp and headphones so i can use it with computer , playstation 4 , bluray watching on my panasonic gt50 , 50 inch , i have no clue about good dac its easy to go out and buy a  expensive one , but i hope you can help with geting something that gives alot of value for the money around 600 pounds - - around 1000 dollars is max budget and ofcourse its welcome if i can get something half the money if the performance is good enough , if its any importance i got a onkyo TX SR 608 the bluray player is a Sony BDP-S790 , my computer only has onboard garbage soundcard , think i remembered everything , if theres anything you need to know just ask and ill reply asap

The ODAC from JDS labs is a great DAC, but if you plan on listening to files at higher bit rates than CD quality ( 44.1kHz ) then you may want to look elsewhere.  The ODAC comes with USB in and when it is ordered a note should be made whether or not they need to install RCA output connectors.

You will want to fully understand how to get the digital signal from the console to the DAC.
