How is the nuforce udac 3? I loved mine but had to send it back as it was literally stopping all functionality on my pc for sound and videos. What OS are you using?

For the money, it's great. I'm using Windows 10 and it plays nicely. I don't ASIO or anything fancy like that. I just plugged it in and started using it with the windows generic sound driver. I used it with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-800 600 ohm cans for years and it produced a very nice SQ. I was using it as the DAC and amp for that setup. 
 
I do feel that I could get more out of the HE-560s with a better DAC so I joined the Gustard DAC-X12 drop on massdrop. Hopefully that brings better dynamics and detail to the setup.

Well im glad yours is working out fine for you. I had the 2 version and used it for my stereo until one of the channels on the output crapped out. The headphone output still works. I don't feel the headphone output is as good as the rca output for a stereo though.

I tried everything with the 3 version and kept running into issues. Now I'm back to using a Geek Out 450 on the main rig.

Is that a PM3 in the picture? If it is, what are your thoughts on it compared to the Audeze?

I like the sound of the PM3 but I love the sound of the Audeze.  To my ears the Audeze has just the right amount of treble and tighter bass.  The PM3 could do with a little more treble to make it a bit more exciting.  I use the PM3s when I need a closed back option or as a portable set.

Cool,
 
Good to know. I am a PM3 fan, have never heard any of the big guys though, so just curious.
 
Thanks
