I bought recently the seinnheizer pxc 550 and I want to know if there is a proper dac/amp for when I will be wired! I think I prefer a portable one, but I will consider any suggestions about non-portable too! Thanks in advance!

AirsilvasI have the Onkyo DAC-HA300 and would definitely recommend it, or consider the DAC-HA200 if cost is a concern. What do you plan to use as an audio source while on the go?
If an iOS based device go for the 200, Hi-Res playback (96 kHz/24-bit FLAC, WAV, or 5.6 MHz DSD) is supported, whereas Android only supports lossless - provided your device is AOA 2.0-compliant. If Android and AOA 2.0-compliant, get the HA-200 if you're happy with CD quality - upto 48kHz/16 bit, what you get with a Tidal Premium subscription, if that helps.
Advantages of the HA-300 (the ones that come to mind, there may be others: -DAC chip: Butt-Brown PCM1795 rather than the PCM5102 of the 200 -microSD slot gives it the ability to act as its own audio source
They both use the same amp and although I would like a little more power for lower volume recordings, I do have it powering Sennheiser HD800S phones.
Both would serve well as desktop amps.
