Yes, but I don't want to have to keep moving the DAC back and forth between my work and gaming computer. I suppose I could just find another another power brick and usb cable to leave there and save money to boot...food for thought. thanks

It’d be for my gaming computer which is hooked up to some crappy USB headphones. I’d like to use my new headphones there too. I guess I could just power these off the onboard sound card for now

Thanks, I'm still needing another dac/amp so maybe I'll just pick up another one of these.

Yep…I guess “modest” really is relative. Seeing there’s headphones north of $1500 like HD800’s or Aryas and DAC/Amps that are just as expensive, I feel that for what I paid (~$550-ish) constitutes a very good setup in terms of value and probably like 95% of the performance (which is also subjective) that I’d get from a high-end $3000 setup.
I suppose by modest I was meaning more in terms of price, but not in terms of performance. I don’t think I could ever really justify spending the cash on some of the other setups I’ve seen around this sub.
