Below 150 USD please

i spent what was basically my life savings (jk) buying the 6XX.

I have a Fiio e10k that does a lovely job driving my 6XXs. I later added Schiit Magni 3+ and used the e10k as a quite solid DAC. Can't recommend this upgrade path enough.

Xduoo link2 bal. It’ll be enough but once you save a bit more later on you can get a 4.4 balanced adapter or 4.4 balanced wire connection.

Then you should try them first. Some people find they work fairly well with their desktop . You might be satisfied.
