Looking for a new quality budget IEM's + portable DAC/Amp - suggestions welcomed

[Sergio Tavares]

Hi all,

New to the forum and a newbie in audio stuff here. I am looking for a new combo IEM's + Portable DAC/AMP to yse while travelling. Audio source would be FLAC files / Spotify streaming through a Android mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 8).

My current hardware is a second hand IFI Nano iDSD (which, although small in size, isn't that portable friendly), and a set of Beyerdinamic's Byron (wired version).

I'd like to upgrade this combo on a 300 euros budget. From the stuff I've read on the last couple of weeks, I am inclined for a iBasso lT01+Topping NX4 DSD set. Any opinions about this and alternative suggestions are welcomed.

As a footnote, I found HINDZIS HD1000 DAC/AMP a good alternative also, although a little more expensive than the NX4 - which would effect the available money fir the IEM's.

Thanks

Loving my Topping NX4. Don’t know about use with IEMs though.

It works great with IEMs use the 1/8 Impedance thumb rule.

Youve zeroed in on a very nice IEM. The IT01 is really great for that price. Maybe also look at some cheaper ones like The Pinnacle P2, Tinaudio T2 etc.
