Yes yes more amp recommendations. It's starting to annoy me as well.
Anyway, in order to narrow down the choices a bit I decided to make it portable amps that include a DAC. The amp will spend half of its time in my pocket during school (at least until summer) and the rest of the time hooked up to my computer. As for what it will be driving, mainly my Q40s and KSC75s, but I will probably be buying some yuin G1As around the same time. It will also be used for some other headphones in the future, but nothing really amp demanding seems to be in line just yet.
Other than the sonic qualities of both of them, the other thing I am wondering about is standalone DACing. The D10 can be used as just a DAC, while the bithead always uses the amp as well (from what I recall). I will probably be building a staving student eventually, and when I do I'd like to use a DAC with it. Methinks it might be possible to still use the bithead (albeit turned way way way down) but I'm not sure. Help on that would also be appreciated.
Any other portable amp+dac combo recommendations would be appreciated, but the max price is probably about 250, but I'd really like something more in the 150 range. That D10 would be a big stretch, so definitely nothing above that.
