The DAC is the least important part . I ' m not going to lie to you , it ' s probably completely wasted in the context of the setup you just described . Those Dragonflys are really nice for headphones though . The $ 20 amps are a bit shit if you turn them up past a polite volume . The SMSL SA 50 , or an equivalent , is in my experience better for the job . They are around $ 50 on AliExpress . I ' ve built a bunch of Overnight Sensations and tried them with various amps . <| sep |> It ain ' t fun getting smacked around by heavies when my 3 teammates around me can ' t do 100 damage to help me kill you . And people who just take 3 heavies and just stand on cart to roll through a map because noobs just run at them hoping for a crit is super boring and annoying . I love to play as the fat guy and mow down anyone in my path . That ' s part of the problem too . If you bump into a heavy that ' s revving up you are fucked most of the time because he has mad damage close up and tons of HP . Feels pretty unfair . Personally I kind of would like to see heavy removed from casual . He ' s not fun to play against since pubs aren ' t exactly known for their great teamwork and the main reason people play him is because as you said mow down anyone in my path they can get a lot of kills with little effort . There isn ' t anything special about him that makes him fun to play , his special thing is that he ' s slow and has lots of HP . Good heavies are only fun to play against if the teams are balanced and there is actually something being done about them so they can ' t just walk forward and smack everything down . I dunno end rantish .
