since you already have it thats kind of up to you. plug the amp into the go XLR and see the sound adn amplification difference between the 2 and this way you can also see the DAC difference and determine whether it's worth or not yourself.

I recently go t a go xlr and I love it. I know its not the most necessary thing in the world, but I'm happy with it's feratures. Here's my question. I use Sennheiser 6xx headphones, and I have an old dac and amp combo that I used before getting the go xlr. I know the go xlr has a built in dac already, but I do want to know if it's worth still using my amp using a 3.5 mill jack to stereo audio cable. If not, cool. Means I have more desk space and able to sell the dac amp combo for more. If it is, then I'll do it. Thoughts? Thanks in advanced.

 

I have a Schiits audio Magni amp.

The cable... has a dac? Are you going to buy a new amp? 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

No sorry. Miss worded that. I meant the go xlr has a dac. i want to know if using the amp through the headphone port on the go xlr is worth it/even possible. I now realize that it might not work due to the built in dac on the go xlr not working like that......
