New Head-Fier
Hey, so I'm considering purchasing the Behringer Ultra-low " " DAC for 50 CAD as opposed to the 250 CAD DragonFly USB DAC. I was wondering which one you would recommend?
In my opinion, the Dragonfly Red is a good value. Have not heard the Behringer--sorry.
I highly recommend the Sabaj Da2 DAC/headphone amp (same as SMSL iDEA but normally lower priced). I believe that Sabaj is the manufacturer and SMSL is a distributor. It is an amazing little machine and is sometimes referred to as a Dragonfly Red killer. Here are a couple of technical comparisons with the Dragonfly Black:

The price is right too: https://www.amazon.ca/Sabaj-Portabl...UTF8&qid=1542516934&sr=8-1&keywords=sabaj+da2
What headphones are you intending to drive?
Based on the amazon reviews looks like those sabaj devices have some serious build quality issues.I highly recommend the Sabaj Da2 DAC/headphone amp (same as SMSL iDEA but normally lower priced).
