Good-sounding audio components?


How do you decide if something is worth buying? Are there any hints or typical things you look for? 

 

For DACs, headphone amplifiers, CD players etc.

As I pointed out, I listen to determine if it sounds good and worth it to you. 
 

Given your budget, you are going to be looking in budget category. Hopefully you can listen before you buy.

At your price range, you should check out the DACs and headphone amps from Schiit. They have some great sounding items available in your price range, though they do not offer CD players.
