[SIZE]4[/SIZE]Good evening everyone! I plan to get my A1 recently for driving 250ohm DT990. Any recommended DAC for this combination? Thanks a lot for answering! My sound source is CDs and I have approx $500 budget.

CD played with a standalone CD player? CDs played in a computer?

O2 + ODAC ($280) seems to be a well liked combo.

I've searched odac on Amazon, but didn't find it. Can Audio-engine D1 get the job well done?
