I am seriously considering getting a FIIO Q15, and as to not limit my options, and I was wondering if you guys could suggest a few alternatives that I could give a listen in addition to the Q15? I do not care much if its a desktop or portable dac/amp (it will go onto my bedroom table), but it needs to have no less than the same power as the balanced output of the Q15 and costing about the same +-. I need it to have USB input (from my phone) and 4.4 balanced output to headphones. Also, as far as my listening preferences go, I love listening to all kinds of music on my Topping DX9 (AKM DAC's) while I do not like any other Topping ESS DAC's that I have heard. So I am more into organic, analogue, life like sound with great 3d spatial parameters, and I am not fond of surgical, analytical musical presentation. Probably a tiny bit on the warmer side of neutral would be correct for me.
Any suggestions welcome
