Hi, so currently my desktop setup is as follows:
Dac- SMSL SU-8 V2
Headphones: -> balanced out to Drop THX AAA -> balanced out to DCA Aeon RT | Fostex TR-X00 | HD800s
Speakers: -> lineout -> Audioengine N22 -> KEF Q150 desktop speakers
Now I find that the N22 works for the QEF but they'd definitely benefit from more power. I'm thinking about replaced the dac and both amps with a Burson Funk as an all in one dac / amp for the headphones and speakers, which would mean switching to singled ended, but I can move the current dac and amps to my second desktop where I'd use Jamo 803 speakers which are considerably more sensitive than the KEFs (right now I just have cheapo monoprice powered speakers that I could part with) so nothing would go to waste. It would also mean switching from balanced to single ended for my main setup.
All that said, would the Burson Funk (or Funk Max) be a worthwhile upgrade? Seems like it would be a nice boost for the speakers but I want to be sure it'd pair well with the headphones as I do really like the neutral aspects of the THX amp.
Thanks
