In Reply to: The Audioengine D1 is a DAC/amp combined - so it's a bit of apples and oranges. Though I will say this... posted by willkayakforfood on March 29, 2013 at 19:06:49:
Which sounds better going from the respective DAC RCA jack to the Magni to play the HD600s?
I went with the ByerDynamic DT-770 32 Ohm because the USB powered headphone amp section in D1 clearly isn't happy trying to drive the HD600's.
Just wondering how the two DACs compare with used with the better (Magni) headphone amp.
