Thanks for the lengthy reply. There’s a lot of BS out there so seeing a company that makes gimmick-free, plain good equipment is nice to see.

Anecdote?
That’s pretty messed up. You would think Schiit would want to cover their ass if their amps we’re literally destroying headphones.

Ya, the Asgard 1 had issues. Forum politics (as we have recently seen here at former Tek) are a bitch. I did own the Asgard 2 though and can vouch that’s it’s a solid product. Currently have a Fulla 2, and again, fantastic. Also owned a Fulla 1st Gen and it was only OK, and returned it after some issues with grounding power on the laptop it was on causing noise.
Moral of the story: no one is perfect. Every company has it’s dark times. The fact still remains though that Schiit puts out fantastic products that I can stand behind more than most any other modern day alternatives.

Isnt that just fine for powered speakers?
O2 ODAC is a proven design with the aim to proved a clean signal which you can “colour” with your headphone/Speaker combination. Mine drives my supposedly difficult Fostex headphones with no issue. I can’t vouch for that particular company as mine was made by Mayflower but cost a lot more as a result of tax/import/postage etc. to the UK.
I think it was 9 euro postage when I stuck Oslo in as a destination.
RCA option should be for line out to powered speakers or amp + speakers. Contact the seller with that question and the response can be part of your buying assessment.
Yep. Powered speakers are speakers with a built-in amplifier after all.
Anyone know anything about Aune X1S?
Fulla 2 has a ton of QC issues. I have had 3 and my current one still isn’t perfect.
I am very happy with my Magni 2 though.
Also take a look at Audio-GD NFB-11. Endgame performance from china.
I have to say Mihle that you are fixated on headphone DACs with pre-amp outputs 
They will work fine if you switch to a pair of powered speakers or add in a power amp to drive your existing speakers.
Otherwise you’ll need an integrated amp with a DAC.
I have powered speakers. JBL 305s
I am still really unsure of what to get.
Sorted then almost!
These threads are dangerous as I’ve been thinking of a sound bar to complement my headphones as I ditched a perfectly good Logitech Z5500 5.1 setup due to all the hassle of drivers and cables. Stick a pair of JBLs on the shelf and I’ll at least have decent stereo without having to don the Fostex headphones all the time.
… apart from I don’t have RCA out on my ODAC doh!
There is the new Mayflower ARC DAC/Amp hmm decisions.
Do any of the Dac/Amps let you change the volume of the outputs to the speakers?
I dont know if I need it or just change volume in windows tho…
Windows volume should stay at 100% to maintain maximum bit quality.
Look for a dac/amp with a pre-out or variable line-out, which should allow you to adjust volume.
