What to choose ??

I googled it but theres waay too much products available and im kinda lost..

Looking to pay 2-300$, i wanna use my headphones at their 100%

Its for competitive gaming on my ps4 and music on my macbook pro.

**Need an optical input and 6.3mm output**

 

Headphone's are sennheiser's HD 558.

 

specs:

Frequency response 15

I would go with the Audioengine D1 DAC/AMP. I've owned mine for a year and a half or something close to now and haven't regretted it once.

 

Plenty of amping rca and headphone out, unfortunately its 3.5mm not 6.3mm but there are adapters out there. There is USB and optical in and its entirely USB powered making it very convenient and portable. Perfect for the Mac book and easy to move over to the ps4

I use the Schiit Modi and Magi or sub out the DAC and get this and the amp

 

Great Dac and amp separates. Sounds awesome and for about $200.

Great amp it seems and extremely cheap considering quality, 10-25kHz flat response and great specs for less than $100 is a steal. Infact I just ordered one for myself :-D Thanks for the info.
