What's your budget for the budget rig?


Probably a flexible 3-400, about what I've put into the Fiio stuff.

Leckerton UHA-6S

Schitt Fulla or a Geek Out

That'll do ya and I think you can stay at or around your budget.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I've read that the Leckerton has an excellent amp section but I wasn't sure if it would be powerful enough for the HD600. What do you think? Also, I've read that the Leckerton's greatest strength isn't its dac. Is that why you mentioned the Fulla or Geekout? Do you think either the Fulla or Geekout would be an improvement over my Fiio gear as a dac/amp?

I'm thinking of going one of these two ways:

1) What would you choose for a portable dac/amp for the HD600 (Office) or HD650 (home)? (Is there a Geekout? Leckerton?)

2) What would you choose for a portable dac/amp for an iem (home/out) but that I could also use as just a dac with the Vali/HD600 (Office)? I don't have the Vali but I was considering it...

Thanks for your time and patience! Sorry if I'm being dense!

Anyone here besides Tyll have something to say about the Skullcandy Aviators?
They're on sale here for a really nice price.  :)
Thanks!

Or swap the Vali for the Valhalla 2. (that probably assumes some discount on the HD800).

Or a secondhand one at that. I'll take a look at both options.
