I already own the HD700's and have done tons of research regarding solutions. I think I would like them separate for upgrade ability yet the potential of being able to travel with a all in one solution would be nice since I am military and travel often. Anyway, I want to spend as little as possible but am all about bang for the buck. If $500 gets me a long term solution I can do that. If $125 does it all then that is cool too.
I would also like to be able to use IEMs with it so a gain switch is ideal. Also would like it to have pre outs for my powered speakers.I have considered:
DACs
Modi 2 Uber(like the power cable to get rid of USB issues)
Meridian Explorer (has line out and headphone amp. Could be used with amp at home and all in one on the road.)
Objective DAC
HRT Music streamer 3
AMPS
Magni 2 Uber (has pre outs)
Vali 2 ( has pre outs)
ALL in one
JDS Element
One of the IFI products maybe?
I was using a Asus Essence STX but had to get rid of my desktop and move to a laptop so now its on ebay.
What else am i missing. Thoughts? Somebody has a Modi 2 U and Vali 2 in the For sale forum I am itching to buy. Thanks for any and all help.
