Best DAC / DAC + AMP Combo for around £120

[tom_taylor97]

Hello,

I was recently told to buy an Asus Xonar U7 to fix a problem with noise when using line in. It turns out that it didn't fix the problem but I really liked how my sound improved over the on-board audio I was used to. My question now is it worth keeping the U7 or returning it and buying a different DAC / DAC + AMP combo?

Many Thanks,
Tom

In that price range it would be tough to be sure whether you could get better sound. It would depend on how hard your headphones are to drive. Maybe just a headphone amp?

I was looking to get some Sennheiser G4me One but I dont really know much when it comes to audio so i wouldnt know if they are very good or there are other headphones that are better for the money.
