    Hello there,
    I was wondering if somebody can help me out I am currently looking for best budget AMP+DAC combo to replace my old ibasso d42 mamba. I have heard that O2+DAC combos are pretty great, will they work well enough with 600 and 650 or there are better options right now at the market? I prefer neutral sound and use them to create music as well so I don't really want other gear to affect the sound signature somehow or at least I would love to minimize that. I think I have around 200 USD maybe up to 300 if the quality improvement is REALLY worth it, I will most likely to buy used gear too so yeah. Any tips to improve the quality further (with links if possible) and suggestions for better gear are appreciated!
    P.S. I would also love to know at what price range I will hit that diminishing returns area and how much should I invest at all

    You don't want to start a new thread on this. Go to the general advice thread.

    I think this section called 'advice threads' for a reason.

    I think an established friend knows the posting etiquette here more than someone who just joined.
    This section is called advice threads to have threads such as the all purpose advice thread, and larger questions by more established members.
    Ask your question in the general advice thread.

    You have to make friends, you cant just join and instantly be a friend. This isn't pre-school were you can say "Hello, you are my friend now"

    Besides, our replies were nothing but helpful, telling you the proper location to post.

    Yeah, really useful by insta-disliking, making and order and showing off how much dickheads you are. Great job, really.

    Oy.

    On the home page you'll notice something right near the top (on purpose) that says "CLICK HERE AND READ THIS BEFORE YOUR FIRST POST! Beware: this forum is not normal." And if you look really closely, you notice this banner is on EVERY page.

    When you follow directions and click the link you'll go to a very useful page. There you can read more about who we are, protocol for new members, why not introducing yourself is not cool, and why posting things like "So much about super friends, yay!" and "Yeah, really useful by insta-disliking, making and order and showing off how much dickheads you are. Great job, really." makes you the d-bag.

    If you'll take the time to follow the useful guidance then some will be happy to give you a second chance (others not so much - their choice). If you keep up the bad-newbie crap/trolling then not sure what I can tell you.

    Cheers

    PS - darn, looks like @Mithrandir41 beat me to it. Oh, well.

    To be more to the point @Kitty, there is such a ridiculous wealth of information on the 600 and 650 here, you really should do some reading first. You will find all the answers you are looking for and more just by lurking and reading. This forum discourages new threads on subjects that are already well-known and well-worn.

    Schiit Fulla 2.

    I practice what I preach.

    IMG_20190304_195805.jpg

    This will now be my standard reply whenever one asks the "what is good for below 200-300USD." The Fulla 1 was not good enough to be mentioned. The initial production version of the Fulla 2 almost. The current production Fulla 2 is a no-brainer. I think Schiit implemented Modi 3 tech into it. It certainly sounds like it. Everything after this is diminishing returns. FWIW, the Fulla 2 sounds better than the Chord Hugo 2, IMO, YMMV, etc.

    Also, be sure to plug in the second USB port into a charger if you need more current at the output. It does work fine with the demanding 8-ohm impedance Verums just using one USB from the computer though.

    I swear I'll never quite understand why people go apeshit over getting a bit of advice when they make a mistake or when they get a couple dislikes. Learn from them, don't devolve into a hate spewing simpleton. I earned my dislikes, but I'm 97.4% sure that how I reacted to those very dislikes is how I ended up making "Friend". Ah well, I guess that is the true SBAF litmus test, lol.

    I like the O2 + random DAC combo (honest).

    You can get a Modi + Magni combo too.

    As far as diminishing returns, that's a personal question to be honest. Nobody can answer that for you. You can do much better than an O2 or a Magni I guess. But for me that's good enough.

    Also, don't get bend out of shape about the negative reaction you got, due to starting a thread on a personal recommendation. Relax. Push the keyboard away. Let it go. Your questions can be answered here just as well.

    I don't have to relax or let it go since I never was in state when I need to in the first place.
    Maybe you should teach your audience how to behave properly if they can't or don't know how to and teach them how to greet people next time if you want newcomers to stay on this forum for longer.
    I asked to remove my posts to avoid any escalation not because I care about this forum or dislikes I received from LOL, nobody, basically. Just a bunch of mad spoiled kids/trolls, whatever. If they think that since they have found this forum earlier than me and I am a newcomer they can do whatever they want well they are mistaken. They have ZERO priority over me and actually have NO rights to tell me what to do but the administration and there is a REPORT button for that and people made it specially for this purpose and on every forum it works exactly the same and the rules are also the same everywhere - don't be a dick and don't tell other users what to do, but of course feel free to give directions in a gentle and polite manner and try to help 'em instead. If you see something you don't like REPORT but don't get involved and don't JUDGE because you clearly don't have rights to do so AND you might be wrong in the first place.
    Yet two of these pricks started to attack a thread that is SIMILAR to DOZENS of other threads in the same forum section for requests.
    Honestly, I am really surprised that some people still don't get it and others haven't received any warnings because of this since I am not the only one who made a thread in the same section for questions (this one is basically a copy of mine https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/dac-amp-pairing-w-zmf-atticus.5319/ and more) yet nobody threw shit in their threads, that was really a warming welcome.
    But whatever, I already saw enough reasons not to dig further down this shitty forum if this kind of things are allowed here. Pretty much tells me everything I need to know, wonder if the owner of this site are aware of this kind of absurdity that is going on down there and it seems that to many, it is a norm (which is a most and worst pitiful thing in this situation).

    Actually, the owner gave you the most helpful answer out of everyone already.

    You obviously don't know how to read, because you skipped the part where it says "THIS PLACE IS NOT NORMAL!" The biggest mistake a rando can make is coming to this forum and assuming it's like everywhere else. Don't assume that we give a damn about your feelings or your need for a safe space. If you would've read the section that is literally called "READ THIS BEFORE YOUR FIRST POST" you would've been allot better off. And yes, you are the one who is upset and needs to let it go.
