Benchmark would be great but I probably can't afford them... I am looking for a good headphone and passive speaker amp setup for my computer. I am intrigued by a couple of Emotiva products. First the TA-100 stereo preamp/DAC/tuner with an integrated amplifier. It has enough power to drive my near-field studio monitors and any headphones I may want to add. The DAC is pretty good, so it can free up my other ones, plus with two pairs of analog inputs I could come out of my PC sound card as well and still have another plug in if I want to check a iPad mix. (if if had a AM tuner it would be perferct.) Second, the Emotiva BasX A-100 has MORE power available for the headphones, about the same for the speakers, for a lower price, but dropping the tuner/preamp and the DAC. This would work for me, it just would not be as clean of a setup... One more item, they are both high-current short signal path Class A/B amplifiers for those who prefer not to go with class D amps...
