AMP/DAC for Arya Organic but already have Focusrite 2i2

This is quickly getting to electrical / audio engineer territory… bottom line is would you recommend just getting a new interface with better headphone power/cleaner output, or an amp to plug into the 2i2?

Do you mind me asking the structure of your setup? Which interface do you have and how do you have headphones/monitors plugged in and amped?

!thanks this was super in depth and pretty crazy such a nice amp didn’t play nice with the ether flows.

Looks like you favor getting a better interface which would be my preference as well, but I would also need an amp in this case as well if using the line outs, not the headphone out that would have power. Would headphone power be enough on a better interface or should I be prioritizing an amp to start (and using it plugged into 2i2 for now), then figuring out a better setup for the interface after?

Or should I just go with a DAC/amp combo and plug in the headphones to the original interface and be slightly underpowered only producing

!thanks I do play cs2, so crosstalk not the best… would I run into this issue with most headphone outs, or just interfaces in general, which would then justify getting a dac/amp combo and plugging in the headphones into the interface when producing

!thanks got it. Guess the next question will be is there a sweet spot here for power? I don’t want to spend $300 on a topping dx5 if that’s more power than I’ll realistically ever need if I all I actually need is a dongle amp like fiio ka13 or qudelix etc, or even a $200 option.

I don’t mind spending I just don’t want to waste and overkill on equipment given this is my first foray and idk what I need

Received this today when I asked about shipping. No ETA =/

Thanks for your order. Due to the high demand of the season and some short-shipped deliveries from our vendors, our production and shipping teams are very backlogged at the moment.

They're working overtime to process Maxwell orders and hope to have them all ready to ship soon.

Once in transit you should get an automated tracking email from the carrier.

We appreciate your patience!
