This DAC amplifier have headphone amplifier or just RCA lines?

Just RCA outputs. Would need a seperate HF amp that accepts RCA inputs. Topping DAC sounds sweet.

the DCX2496 PRO also has the DAC and digital input, the DCX2496LE doesn't and is less expensive...

This soundcard has output specialy for headphones. Not needed to use RCA output.

You may understand, I will point out there is no amplifier in the DAC. It's only a processor. That said, it makes an amazing difference in sound quality, such that I want to run all my music through it. I have been told that HDMI sound channels are superior. My ears prefer the sound from this device.

Thanks for the replies. Will keep it in mind when I am ready to buy a headphone amp.

It is a single line for both input and output. Think of this as a smartphone pair of IEMs and in order to use them on PC, you need a splitter (splitter not included with base model.)

A quick look leads me to believe that each device only has one function, dac or amp. The FiiO has both dac/amp functions.

There is NO USB input on this amplifier. There are 2 analog RCA inputs. You would need a separate DAC unit to go between this and your source component.

Just the headphones. You use the output directly into your sound system and adjust volume from there. I use the optical inputs from apple tv. It is an excellent, no-nonsense dac. Highly recommended.

It you are asking this question about products in general, then it depends on a number of things.If you are referring to this particular product, it had both a DAC, and a headphone amp included.I own it, and I feel both components work very well.

Depends on what you mean "pair" this amplifier has normal RCA audio inputs (red and white wire) which is standard for almost all amplifiers.So in order to connect this amplifier to your computer (which I have done) you need to get a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable (headphone jack to red and white)Having this cable will allow you to use it with anything with a headphone jack.

Any DAC will do fine. I have mine hooked up to my Fiio E07k. One could also plug it directly into the PC's headphone line out as well.

When I ordered mine you had a choice between the amp or an equalizer. Neither is necessary for the headphones, they work awesome without the extra gadgets. They are a free gift with purchase. You may get to choose at checkout.

Yes, there are Direct/Recording RCA jacks on the back of the amplifier for outputing to a DAW.

It has an RCA in jack, but the only outputs it has are the amplified speaker wire ports.

Yes it has a DAC because it has a headphone output jack. I assume the quality of the DAC is the same as the ADC used to digitize the audio to begin with. However, I have not used the phone jack.

All 3 inputs are RCA, just pick one :) Just because it says "CD" or "Aux" doesn't specifically mean you must use that device, RCA is RCA. However, I wouldn't recommend purchasing it. Mine died (non smoking house, didn't overheat or push it too far) within 1 month of use. I decided to go with the Dayton Audio APA150, which has been a workhorse since day 1 with no issues and much better consumer ratings than this Pyle of junk. Happy hunting.
