I have owned an Audinst HUD-mx1 DAC/ amp for around a year now, I'm happy with it but I need a DAC that has an optical input so that I may use my PlayStation 3/ Xbox 360 video game consoles with my headphones.
My headphones are Sennheiser HD650s, and I listen mainly to soundtracks and classical music. I do not have or need a "proper" stereo system, so I use them for all my audio needs, which is 85% music, 10% films/ television, and 5% gaming.
I would like a DAC with both optical and USB inputs. It does not have to be balanced, but if it is I am not opposed to it. I would also like something from a company that is known to be reliable both in quality and customer service (shipping, device problems, etc.)
I have not decided an amplifier to pair with said DAC, so if it is a combination DAC/ amp then that is fine. If that is the case, my budget can go up to $600 or so.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
