Hi guys,
First post ever in the headphones section. Newbie, so to speak...
I'm composing a headphone set-up for my office. Last week I laid hands on a Hifiman HE-560 in mint condition. I'm now on the look-out for a DAC-amp that can do it justice. I'll be using my work-pc as a source (through USB). Budget is around 500 GBP max.
I guess I could do worse than a Chord Mojo (if it has enough juice for these 'phones). Other logical company could be Hifiman's EF100. Furthermore, I spotted a refurbished Northstar Design Essensio Plus (with 2 years factory warranty, for less than a third of the RRP).
There's also a second hand Pathos Aurium for sale, though the 800 EUR asking price looks too steep, certainly considering I would need a separate DAC with it.
Any comments on my current shortlist. Other contenders worth considering?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
