I'm intending to buy Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250ohm headphones and a friend of mine (who's into this world more than me, I just started learning) suggested to buy this amp+dac.
 
It's Chinese made, "Breeze Audio", it's budget ($128 w/ free shipping) and he says it has the latest chips, that many other renowned brands have at higher price point.
 
► USB AMP+DAC
 
Do you think it looks good, should I go ahead with the purchase?
I'm not an expert at audio, just trying to find the best budget USB amp/dac for 770s.
 
Thanks

Chinese trash or? Avoid and pay more for better known manufacturers or?

China does make some good dac and amp's, they aint all bad. my Audio-gd NFB15.32 is made in china and it is a great one but outside your budget most likely.  I seen a Aune T1 for $149 but I do not know how it sound's, some one that have used it with a DT770 pro-250 will have to chime in here.  You should be able to find some good deals in the F/S section of the forums.   A used NFB12.0 would be a good choice if you can find one cheap enough.  If you had a good sound card, you could use it as a source and get a headphone amp. But you do not mention what audio options you have for your pc.

I have a bad integrated sound card, so practically i need both the dac and amp...
