I'm looking for a DAC that has mini line out, chain will be DAC -> CH mini-mini cable -> Pico Slim -> CH CIEM cable -> JH16. Right now I'm considering the Audioquest Dragonfly and ODAC, however I'm willing to pay a little more if it means better SQ. I wouldn't mind recessed highs with more emphasis on mids/lows but neutral is preferred. I liked the what I heard of the Dragonfly's sound but am hesitant to buy one because it's new and so small that I question its longevity.

The Apogee mini-DAC has analogue output in the form of a stereo mini jack. Is that what you meant?
