Some very nice options in that price range:
Thanks for the info! SO this may sound like a dumb question but why do you need both the MODI 2 Uber and Vali 2? I think its something about converting digital to analog but im honestly not totally sure.
I have another question also... Will this amp combo work with more than just headphones? Say stand-alone speakers like JBL Studio 530 2-Way. (http://www.amazon.com/JBL-Studio-530-5-25-Inch-Bookshelf/dp/B00622STI0)
660 is not cheap since they retailed for $600, and on amazon were at one time under $400. (Camel source below)
They are expensive now because JBL doesnt make them anymore. AFAIK they only made them for a very short time before coming out with the new line of JBL studio speakers that suck in comparison (like the 180), but are at a much lower price point and probably get a lot more buys from less "serious" speaker buyers

I would be willing to ship mine to you if you would ship me this: www.amazon.com/JBL-Studio-530-5-25-Inch-Bookshelf/dp/B00622STI0
No paypal or money exchange.
I can send you pictures when I get home.
What is your experience with speakers? Cuz if you been driving a prius and immediately want to go to a bugatti veryon, without knowing why it is better than a ferrari or lamborghini, you are really wasting a lot of money. And audiophile realm is bullshit. Audiophile requires experience not a billfold. Sorry for the mini rant, but alot of inexperienced people buy equipment that is wasted on them lol.
I have not heard the Buchardt in person yet. But i believe zeos said the larger ones werent that good on a desk but the larger ones are fucking huge so it makes sense. Im guessing after shipping they are going to be a little north of $1000. Right now I would pick up the unviersally acclaimed ELAC Uni-Fi UB5 currently on sale for $400.https://www.amazon.com/ELAC-Uni-fi-Bookshelf-Speaker-Black/dp/B01CRYWVG2/ref=pd_lutyp_simh_2_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01CRYWVG2&pd_rd_r=B9XH2J9NAFSN6TV2SD5J&pd_rd_w=QW0KL&pd_rd_wg=Ydd70&psc=1&refRID=B9XH2J9NAFSN6TV2SD5J
or the jbl 530 while you can still get them for $600. I believe they are discontinued the the price will sky rocket to 800 easy. https://www.amazon.com/JBL-Studio-530-5-25-Inch-Bookshelf/dp/B00622STI0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1479984218&sr=1-1&keywords=jbl+530
I have the jbl 530 and the SVS Ultras ($1000) and on a desk i prefer the jbl 530. They have amazing imaging on a desk.
Behringer a500 will power anything you through at it so not much to say on that.
I am gonna say schiit stuff is good (but i am having trouble with my modi 2 uber having usb error which is currently pissing me off) but you are paying a premium to being made in the USA. The magni 2 is a fine amplifier, it has served me well to power my my hifiman he-400 and mad dog pros.
For a preamp I would just go with a SCHIIT SYS i believe.
Then i just realized, what sound to you prefer? Netural, bright or bass? lol
But if you get the elacs or jbls with the rest of that equipment, i believe you would have a fantastic starting kit to become a proper audiophile. Down the road you can upgrade any piece of the kit and you will know why it is better.
And what is this desktop setup for? gaming station or workstation? cuz with the money you save if you go with cheaper speakers, i reccomend picking up a sweet 4k monitor/tv too lol.
