Schiit Magni Unity (Amp only)
It’s a good amp. As far as I can tell it doesn’t distort at all really unless you’re listening at levels which would blow out your hearing in all but 3 minutes, does a good job at driving high impedance cans, as noted I have the magni unity amp only version, this was the closest model listed with equipboard. Only concerns with it are: the external power supply is always on and will heat up, and with mine I get some crackling when adjusting the volume in the right channel. It’s probably just in need of a little deoxit to fix that like most potentiometers, but not something you wanna experience with a new product, I’m also too lazy to open it up to perform said treatment.

Mine is the Magni 2 Uber
Amazing, specially due to affordability. You can enjoy your hifi headphones (high ohm) with this DAC.
