Amp/DAC for Sennheiser HD800 headphones

Posted by SteveJewels (A) on October 21, 2019 at 02:28:09

Post this in the headphone forum or in the Digital forum? I'll give it a go here.

I am working out of town and living in a hotel. This limits my choices of music reproduction equipment somewhat to say the least.

I have an Onkyo DP-X1a which I have been using with Audio-Technica IM04 IEM's. Good setup but I find the IEM's inconvenient to use all of the time so I got some Sennheiser HD800 headphones.

I am looking for a headphone amp DAC combination that will work well with the Senns, something that will drive the Senns well and has a good quality DAC. I posted in this forum to hopefully find input from people that understand and have experience with the Senns and amps. I would connect the DAC/Amp to my laptop. Also want to have balanced output. That shortens the list a bit. LOL

I have a Tidal account so I would also want the DAC to have MQA capability, preferably to fully unfold MQA.
