I think between the iBasso D10 and the Practical Devices XM5, you can't go wrong (I got both just in case). But then again, what do you consider "cheap"?

iBasso D10 should be a safe and moderately priced bet

Or wait for the Fii0 E1 which is apparently a entry level Dac/Amp IIRC

nuforce icon mobile then? Or maybe amps/dacs from hotaudio. They're cheaper than the D10 and XM5.

I can vouch for the NuForce Icon Mobile. May not be the best, but for $100, it gives a very clear improvement. However, I cannot say how it would drive you Denons. I only have ever heard my AD700s (still new to this game), so you may want another opinion.
