Desktop amp options

firstborn · 3 Jun 2017 at 15:57

I'd like a desktop (i.e. small form factor) amp to run a pair of QA3010, have USB input to run my PC as the source and also had a headphone out., currently using AKG 702.

The NAD 3020 tick all my boxes but is about double my budget. The SMSL Q5 would be an option, but lack headphone out...

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks, I initially didn't like that because of the upright form factor - but after seeing that review I'm sold.

Well the NAD D3020 is an upright too

Aye, but you can lay it flat and the display rotates when you do this. But any hows it's for my office and the NAD would have been overkill, the SMSL is far more sensible in that respect so thank again

I'm now watching far too many of that chaps videos...
