#50 Lavaudio DS400 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Audio Science Review measured a SINAD of 103 dB, which is clean for nearly all listening. It offers both a 3.5 mm output and a 4.4 mm balanced output, and it can pass the USB signal on to optical or coaxial outputs for another device. It rates a little higher than the SMSL M10.
Cons: It is no longer sold new, so you will have to find a used unit. The maker doesn’t publish a 32 ohm power figure, so it is hard to tell how well it drives demanding planar magnetic headphones. USB is the only input, and the xDuoo XA-10 rates higher while promising several watts of balanced output.
