Creative Sound Blaster E5 USB DAC/Amp Combo
Sure! For most of my desktop analysis of the amp section I used the Sennheiser HD800 and Sony MDR-7506 headphones. I tested it in portable environments with the Mee a151p, Oppo PM-3, and (forgive me for I have sinned) Apple earpods. I tested the line out directly into JBL lsr305s (paired with a SVS SB-1000), Eve sc207s, and Yamaha NS10s. I also tested the line out into a Schiit Asgard, Schiit Valhalla, and an Allen & Heath QU-16 Mixer.
With the M...

Fiio makes good amp/dac combos for a fair price. A lot of people like Schiit's amp/dac combo which is about $200. That may be out of your price range. There are a lot of options, and I don't know them all, reddit is always a good place to start (I know it's a bad answer).

Aune T1 Headphone Tube DAC and Amp
I'm not much for head-Fi but I appreciate the link. Too many fanboys and skewed reviews.im speaking from my own personal experience not someone else's. I also think the O2 is a great setup. I used the t1 as a DAC for my O2 for a long time until Massdrop dropped the ODac. I just think you are misleading by saying that you need $1500 headphones for something more than the O2. The O2 is an amazing piece, definitely not "end game". It will work for m...

Creative Sound Blaster X7 DAC/Amp Combo
yeah that's pretty much what sbx is.
regarding the nfb-15: it's like mail order except through email. you contact them to get a quote of the unit + shipping cost. once they give you the total, you reply to confirm the order and pay through paypal or through bank account transfer. they recommend you to use paypal but you're responsible for the small fee paypal charges. paypal is very buyer-biased so i'm not worried, and audio-gd's reputation is goo...

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones
If you want a dac/amp combo and trust Zeos's judgement there's also the Aune X1s , which is apparently his favorite combo unit.
Should be powerful enough to drive the 6xx. Also down the line you can add a Aune X7s as a Class A balanced headphone amp and use the X1s as a dac.
X1S Review:
" USB and SPDIF and an Analog input. Full RCA PRE OUT. This is MY favorite amp/dac combo. Not the most powerful but a benchmark in sound quality. " - Zeos' Reddit ...

In my experience with their balanced designs (Joutenhiem, Mjolnir 2 and Ragnarok), the single-ended output is noticeably inferior to the balanced output. They just don't don't sum/combine/whatever the balanced signal path at a quality level that matches the balanced output.
There is a false belief system in the low-end audio community (Reddit, Massdrop, etc) that you should balance the cost of the headphones with the amp and DAC, and that the head...

Hmm...try googling "Creative DSP (SBX) without Creative hardware."
You should find a Reddit post with the same title.

Mine does. You can also see some reports of it on reddit and the head-fi thread. Most of my stuff is 32Ohm(SHP9500, Piston 3, K553), and I have some JLab J4s which I believe are 16Ohm. Interestingly enough the noise does not scale up with the volume knob, but only with the gain switch.
This relatively high noise floor is one of my only major complaints about this device though.
I have been fiddling around with solutions, one of which is picking ...
