does this product exist? (compact AC-powered dac/amp/BT streamer for bedside use)

[Blake Klondike]

i have a phone and a fiios dac/headamp that i use for streaming amazon music, while in bed. i'm wondering if anybody makes a little box that i could have on my nightstand that combines those features with a bluetooth streamer?

i know we already have a pretty elegant solution with phone --> portable dac --> headphones but i would pay for something that allowed me to bypass my phone, simply because it runs out of power quickly when streaming, and it is unwieldy once i plug my HD800 into them. all those cables,etc., plus the fact that the whole mess keeps falling off the nightstand distract me from focusing on music, a problem i already have with streaming.

thanks!

About the only product that I can think of: https://www.fiio.com/r7

Not sure if it matches your vision tho

If I misunderstood and you want to keep using your phone to control playback, just with a wireless connection to the headphone Amp, then yes. There are tons of AC-powered DAC+Amp combo units with BT input from Topping, SMSL, Sabaj, even FiiO IIRC.

Here's Amir's review:

Fiio R7 Android Streamer Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the FIIO R7 DAC, media player, headphone amp and streamer based on Android operating system. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $700. As you see, you have the equivalent of a normal Android phone screen. It is impressive in size compared...

thanks! very helpful! I'm surprised this has not been reduced in price since the R9 has been released.

Why not keep the phone plugged in and charging while you listen?
I picked up a USB-C Y-cable. USB-C male to phone, 2 USB-C female. 1 for wired headphones, 1 for charging.
So, I can be plugged in and listening simultaneously. (yeah, wired headphones). I’ll use it with a Mojo 2 DAC.

As for the falling problem, get a little tray to put all the stuff on.
I’ve gotten some nice ones in museums and use one for remotes and iPhone next to the bed.
You could put non-skid tape on the bottom, too.
