Thanks guys. I do have portable, the Hornet from Ray Samuels. This more about at home at my desk, at night when I don't want to disturb others in the family. Playing the 2 channel system at low volumes is possible and at times certainly has it merits, but some times u just want that volume (though certainly not at levels where it will impair health!). Connecting a headphones/headphone amp to the my DAC is certainly possible but it would mean cables all over the place throughout the room and I just don't want to. So just looking for simple set up using PC-DAC-headphone set up at my desk. I also have the MSB IPO dock and modded IPOD so that music files in the IPOD can be transferred to a DAC in digital form....far better than other docks. So if I have DAC, and headphone amp that is not too large in size, I can use it with the MSB dock/IPOD and take it to other rooms, bedside etc I figure.
headphones wise...I do not have a lot of exp apart from IEMs...did get a AKG 701 which I like but probably not doing it service by simply connecting it to the Hornet so far.
the modded Benchmark sounds like a good idea as manageable is size and one unit solution though I am open to other ideas
