Hi,
I started a similar thread some time ago, but nobody answered. The problem is, that I use very sensitive IEMs (28 Ohm and 122 dB). My iBasso D4 and D3 are too loud for them (using it as DAC and amp via PC). When these amps are not too load, I have channel imbalance, which is a no-go.
Is there any headphone amp with a very high attentuation without channel imbalance? I'm using the IEMs via PC.
My ideas:
Pico Slim (hard go get, long waiting time)
RSA Shadow (digital volume control, is this amp good?)
or any DAC with volume controlled outputs and a headphone amp (e.g. the Meier Audio Stage DAC, but this is too expensive).
My budget is around 300 Euro, maybe more for the perfect solution. The amp/dac needn't be portable, so size doesn't matter. By selling the D4 maybe 500 Euro.
