Hi there.

I'm pretty new to Hi-Res audio world and I need an advice from you.

I need a DAC/amp bundle which can drive two independent heaphone outputs with impedenaces from 16 Ohm to 300 Ohm.

I've already found Sound blaster E1/E5, and M-audio Bass Traveler bundles, but only the two first are capable to drive two headphones the way I need.

Anyone with any suggestion?
For the ones who own the E1 or E5 boards, would you recommend them?

Thank you
 
The Mojo will definitely do what the OP wants - it has 2 headphone outputs, and is capable of driving a variety of headphones. I use mine to drive my Beyer Amirons, which I think are 250 ohms. I'm very happy with how they sound.

Only thing of note, while the Mojo is easy to set up for use on a pc, via usb, there's one annoying thing about it. If you have the charge cable in while it's in use, it both uses some of the battery and charges it, at the same time - so the battery ends up with impacted lifespan, if you leave it plugged all the time. It's possible to run it without the battery, by popping the lid off, and removing the battery, as it will run through usb power (although the designer has stated it might lose a bit of responsiveness on transients in the source). Or if you are happy running it for the 5 hours or so it goes for, and then plugging it in, that would be for you to decide.

In any event I am thinking about getting a headphone amp/dac setup for my pc desk, so I don't have that issue. I won't be getting rid of the Mojo, it will be used to listen to music away from my computer desk.
