I saw the deal for $61 yesterday and was really tempted. We just bought a used JDS Element as our first heaphone amp ever after years of using reciever headphone jacks and PC onboard sound. Always wanted a headphone amp but just didn't buy one somehow. The Element has a built in DAC and USB input which is nice on the PC. With the Liquid Spark, we're going to hook it up to our reciever to listen to records and CDs. Thanks for posting.

What wound be a good DAC to pair this with?

Schitt Modi. You can also look for the Topping DX3 Pro as an all around DAC+headphone amp.

So to connect this to my PC and headphones, I would need to buy a 3.5mm to RCA cable correct?
Something like this?

the higher end tube amp is also on sale. I have this and love it so far

... And just like that, I bought the higher end one since the liquid spark was OOS.

Damn, that's an even slicker deal. This one's never been below $400 far as I know.

Monoprice's eBay store has it for $288 as well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394431779072

EDIT: whoops, I was looking at the DAC, the tube amp did get down to $167 at one point - still a pretty good deal now though.

liquid spark performance is pretty good. Cavalli Design got popular on head-fi but his other amps seem to be criticized (measurements by ASR and circuitry design by head-case)
