    Your Beats Studio are bluetooth :D

    Seriously if you've just spent $500 on headphones then you probably should be researching if you need a DAC/amp

      I haven't bought them yet.
      I want to have something to start off with instead of onboard.

    the minimum i would get for $500 headphones is a schiit stack modi and magni.

        They are out of stock everywhere in australia, you would have to buy them directly from the usa store and ship them here yourself.

    I'd recommend a JDS Atom paired with any decent DAC. I believe the Atom is $99 USD + shipping at JDS' store.

    Hell you probably don't even need a DAC, most onboard audio these days is sufficient.

    I was using one of these for a while and it was a solid combo for a cheap entry point. If your headphones are good, I would suggest going for a Magni/Modi Stack from Schiit.

    My wife is using the Fosi now with the Sennheiser Momentum wired and it does make a noticible difference in sound quality. Its a great gateway into spending your life's savings on amps and DACs.

  It's meh. It has software volume control though so forget about using headphones and the rear RCA jacks for other stuff without having to adjust the volume all the time.

  It also uses a TPA6120A2 so unless it's been modified the output impedance is around 8-10 ohms.
