Hi all,
So I'd like a DAC/AMP combo for use with my laptop and future PC. Primarily to drive my headphones but if they'll improve the speakers output a bit that's also good.

My current test pair is a KRK KNS 6400 (36 Ohm)

I have been suggested the Asus Xonar U3 and Asus Xonar Essence One... Essence One is way way out of budget...

So, anyone got any other experience/suggestions? I see Fiio E7s...
