I have some Grado RS1i and I'm looking for a good, compact headphone amp and DAC combo to plug into my desktop Mac.
Currently I have a Meridian explorer which is fine but would there be any merit in getting a more substantial headphone amp and DAC with its own power supply?
Ideally I was thinking of around £500 with a bit of flex and don't mind buying used, older models or ex demo. So far I have seen, and considered:
Burson HA 160DS
Burson Conductor SL 1793
Audiolab M DAC
Benchmark DAC 1 USB
Does anyone have any recommendations from this list or any others I haven't mentioned?
