I hope that amp is a Massdrop X something and I also hope it is cheap (less than $70) because I just got into the audiophile community with the HE-350

FrogmeatI am impressed how I could not realize that XLR output still I wish they made a desktop amp for people getting into the audiophile community or people with low budget

LucasPMagnoEven Little Dot's balanced amps are expensive, close to a Grand. I can tell you that the hybrid they make, the 1+, is a nice compact amp with good power and the option to roll tubes and Op Amps to your hearts content, and usually goes for about $100 on sale.

LucasPMagnoYou should look into the Massdrop O2 amp. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-o2-amplifier
I've never given it a go, but the reviews I've read have sounded quite promising and it drops for around that price point.

HeeftyI was looking into it but it does not have a DAC nothing necessary but useful might give them a go in the future for now I am going to stick with just the headphones
LucasPMagnoI would put an amp purchase as a higher priority than a DAC purchase. The O2 is a good way to get your feet wet, I have one of the MD O2's (launch drop) and it's a pretty solid piece of gear. It doesn't compete in the same class as my Lyr or H10 but those are also several times the O2's price! (feel free to flame me O2 fan boys but the O2 is not gods gift to audio)

ElectronicVicesAgree, I juat don't rrally havr the space on my desk to stack two big boxes, lol and does anyone know if the dac and amp from a blue yeti would be better than the one from a motherboard. I can always wait for them to arrive and see if it is better.
