In your home system, do you use a separate DAC and Headphone Amp, or a combined DAC/Amp?
.
I'm wanting to end up with a Balanced Output (probably 4-pin XLR) type of Amp - something like the Matrix M-Stage HPA-3B, the xDuoo TA-20, or a DIY model from @xrk971.
To drive those amps, I'd want a Dual DAC, with Balanced 3-pin XLR outputs.
.
The alternate would be to get a DAC w/Balanced Amp, like the Gustard A20H, GoldenWave GD-02, or a Topping DX7s.
.
Do you have any recommendations for Balanced output AK4497 or ES9038PRO DACs, or other fully Balanced (input to output) Amps (w/Volume Control) that I should consider?
.
Thanks!
