For my desk at work I am currently using a Topping NX4 DSD to run some Beyerdynamic Custom Studio headphones (80Ohm). I am happy with this combination, however...
I just ordered a Loxjie P20 that was on offer to give it a try and would like a desktop DAC to pair with it. I will still keep the NX4 DSD as it works really well, but I wouldn't mind moviing it over to portable/travel duties and getting something that sits desktop a little more.
The Custom Studio's are of course unbalanced, but it isn't a major job to convert them.
This will be running from a Windows 10 machine using foobar (FLAC) and Spotify Premium.
My needs are:
- Under $200 (under $150 would be preferred).
- USB input.
- RCA Outputs
- Functionality from front of unit (not necessary to use a remote)
- Desktop format
My preferences (if possible) are also:
- Balanced outputs
- Headphone amp (in case I don't like listening to the P20 all day)
- Optical output
Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions!
