Headphone DAC

[DummyHeadGamer]

I have been looking for a cheap (no more than $40) headphone dac/amp to use with my sennheiser hd 518 headphones. I am new to audio (first headphones) and I want a dac/amp that has a 1/4" headphone jack for my headphones and it doesn't have to be portable. Sorry if my wording is a little confusing. Thanks in advance for all the comments

For $40 your not going to get anything worth the money but for $70 (msrp) you can get a Fiio E10.

he's asking for a dac not headphones lol

 

also just don't bother getting a amp and dac for those headphones unless your onboard is broken.

No need to grab an amp/dac unless you are hearing interference caused by you computer. I would wait until you can afford an E10 or better if you really want to get one.

To be honest, I wanted to get a dac for better sound quality, but I also hate the reducer adapter that I have to plug on it for it to plug into my 3.5mm jack. I'm afraid it is going to break from the weight, because it extends several inches from the case. Also I will most likely hit it before too long.

I know the feel, though you would be better off getting that different cable I mentioned in the other thread, but! and E6 will be probably your best options.

@ShearMe is a fan of this syba amp/dac so that might work.
