Looking to order a DAC/amp today and torn on which to get. It's between the Micca Origen, Topping TP30 and Fulla2. 

I'm using HD558s and no plans to get anything else, well, maybe DT770s. 

 

Which would be the best option?

I cant help much, I am a shit audio user. But i had the TP30 for some monts. Had HD598 on there sounded nice. And with the HD598 I dont hear a difference between TP30 and my shit setup. So it should be plenty for the HD558 ;)

Got the shiit stuff becasue now i have HD700. My buddy has some Micca products, I never listende to them but he is happy with it and build quality whise they seem fine to me.

The other one I never had contact with.

Just started eyeing up the SMSL SD793-II, mostly due to price and same day shipping. Does this one suck?
