I was not looking for a portable DAC/Amp as I mainly listen at my computer workstation with my A70 Pro. I recently got two DAC/Amps included in a used headphone purchase I made, a Qudelix T71 and an ifi GO Bar. I just wanted to make this post about how much I love the T71. Its got 8V on high gain, enough to make my HD650 with my crazy high bass EQ shake my head! By my calculation its got over 210mw of power into the Sennheisers, almost as much as the Topping DX3 Pro+ I used to own. I also tried it with some DCA and HiFiMan planars and predictably it was short on current, but for high impedance headphones this thing is awesome. Its got an app in the form of a Chrome plugin. From the app you have dual EQ functionality, primary EQ to flatted out headphones (Oratory for example) and a secondary EQ that I use for bass boost. I also love the amount of info given on display including dual volume (device volume and source volume), output voltage etc. Comparing to the ifi GO bar there is no comparison power wise, even though it claims 7.2v output, to my ears its not close to half of that perhaps mine is faulty. Its bigger than a basic dongle as its got a built in battery for mobile use if your device cant provide enough to power it, it draws 3A when connected to my MacBook. Perhaps a bit on the large size for iPhone use but for my MacBook its perfect.
Not sure about the SINAD on it, but sounds clean enough for casual listening, would love to see it measured.
