Reasonably priced all-in-one DAC/amp combo units with extreme power output?

[cactus_farmer]

Does anything rival the Schiit Jotunheim (with built-in DAC) at that price for a DAC/amp combo unit that offers at least 2-3 watts into 50ohms?

Most other combo units I have seen with this power output are in the >$1000 range?

I have an SMSL DO400 with 3 watts into 32 ohm and also is a 5.2v DAC and it sounds great. The Topping DX9 is more expensive but will do everything you want, including blow all other all in ones into the weeds. With less power but great value is the SMSL DL200 and CO200. With a stack it's so much more affordable like a Topping A30Pro and E50 DAC. The Topping DX7Pro+ might be enough, just depends on what you need to power and how much preamp reduction is needed for equalizing.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Does the SMSL DO400 have enough power to properly drive the Hifiman HS6seV2?

It has 3W into 32ohms - and the HE6seV2 is 50ohms, and is said to need 2W into 50ohms.

So I'm not sure if having 3W into 32ohms means having at least 2W into 50ohms...?
