Xonar aint meant for music, they fit for gaming as main

if u focus more on music, e17

I've asked before in another thread, but can't hurt to ask again. 

Source : desktop (mobo = MSI P55-GD80 with onboard soundcard)
Equipment : ATH M50 (burned in w/ roughly 60 hrs)
Requirement : desktop amp+dac (will consider buying amp and DAC seperately if reasonably justified), looking for some extra bass since my M50 is abit weak on it, and some enhanced mids and wider soundstage (I listen mostly to jpop/rock)
Budget : RM500 - 800

I've considered the Maverick D1, since its pretty multi-functional, and I heard tube amps work really well with AT headphones. Any other recommendations? 

Yup, I'm sure it's abit more expensive, but they throw in a free NOS tube upgrade for my D1 if I order from them.
When I asked Jaben via email they're not sure if theirs have the upgraded NOS tubes. 
So yeah, I was thinking, if I can have the tube upgrade, I wouldn't mind buying from the manufacturer's website.

i just got news govibe tube amp is coming to jaben.. all better put your eyes on it, it might get tasty

nope, it looks something different, check jaben fb

govibe volante tube 24/96 dac+amp
