New Head-Fier
Thanks! One more question if I may. Some of the dac/amps I’ve researched show 20hz-20khz in their specs. The sundara specs are outside of this range. Does that matter?https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-portable-headphone-amp-with-built-in-dac/
Those are portables--battery powered.
There's also the Shanling UA2, which is powered by the phone--i.e., will suck up phone battery life. But the reviewers specifically say it sounds good with Sundara.

If you're willing to plug in something and leave it on the desktop, the Schiit Magni 3+ or JDS Labs Atom are just amps (no DAC) and about $100 each.
Schiit also makes the Fulla, a DAC/Amp combo, for $109.

Perhaps because I’m looking at less expensive variety? Or maybe one has nothing to do with the other?
