Hey, My budget is around 500-600 Australian all up, that includes dac/amp as well as speakers(if that's possible),
It will be just used on the desk in my bedroom,
I want to be able to use headphones as well as play through a set of good quality active speakers.
What I'm asking is it worth paying extra to go from a Xonar Essence Stx to the Essence one? and are there any alternatives to an essence one for around the same price?
I guess in essence i want a 2.0/2.1 active speaker system that runs through a high quality sound car or dac.
I hope this helps and thanks for all your advice so far, its very helpful :)
