There is also the new Audio Technica AT-PHA50BT Portable Bluetooth DAC/AMP, for about 13,000 JPY ($110).
 
I'm really curious if anyone has experience with this, especially paired with re400 or similar.

too bad...

 
It's tested and works with Android OTG. Not sure about iDevices.

Audio Technica Singapore will be having it at the product launch and audition session tomorrow. I'll see if I can grab some impressions :D

I don't get this product at all.
 
>Portable
>No compatible with Android/iOS/WP(?); only works with Windows & OSX.
What?
 
It looks nice but for the price, I don't really see a place for this thing.
It is realistically fighting against FiiO products with the portable aspect. But with the size and price, it's fighting against some of the (smaller) dedicated desktop amps/DACs.

I'm out in Japan. One of the perks is getting to see this stuff pretty early.
Saw one hooked up to a laptop in my local electronics shop. Sounded pretty nice. Presumed it would work with the apple camera connection kit. Didn't try it as it was out of my price range and as you can see from my avatar went for the Denon in the end. Happy I did. Awesome little unit!
