Morning all,
I'm looking for a portable Amp/dac that does not contain a battery to replace my Soundblaster G3.
I currently have the G3 bundled with my laptop bag to power some HD560s and K702 headphones however I feel it is a bit lacking power wise. I did own a G6 previously on my desktop but thought I would try something else other than Sound blaster stuff.
I've been recommended the ifi hip dac a few times but the issue I have with it is the battery due to the nature of my work. The flight company gets a bit funny with batteries in things like this or airpod type containers. Oddly they are ok with laptop batteries. That and the recommendations of it aren't too hot on here.
Anyway, Ideally I would like something with the following:
A good bit of power behind it to do fussy headphones when needed
USB-C connection
Mic input support
Preferably no battery
Good sound staging/imaging/detail
Any recommendations or is this a unicorn item?
