Dac/Amp for Drop x Panda
So I have decided to back the Drop x Panda wireless headphones and use it both as a wireless pair when I am not sitting at my computer, and use them with the included boom mic option they have while I am at the computer gaming/listning to music. I do understand that for the money spent, they are not the best alternative for sitting down and listning to music, but for the multi-purpose I feel like they are pretty damn close to perfect.
I was planning to get a Schiit Hel on the side to plug both the headphones and the mic into at home, aswell as my Audioengine HD3 speakers I have (not sure if it's really needed).
But after a sleepless night looking around, I am not sure if it's the best option anymore. I am very new to all this, so excuse if I am missing an obvious part that is better.
Right now, for some reason, I am looking at the Schiit Magni 3 Heresy instead but with a Scarlett Solo as the DAC and microphone input (with a xlr to 3.5 mm converter from antlion).
It is overkill on the microphone side for sure, but at the same time it feels like a lifetime investment that I will never have to change, even if I stay with a stupid 3.5mm mic, or upgrade to some XLR alternative in the future (I am not seeing myself doing that right now).
The other option is to go with a Schiit stackof Modi + Magni, and just cheat usb interface to get some more out of the mic?
I am simply looking for people with knowledge that can tell me if it's stupid or not, and tell me a better solution.
