Hi guys,
 
Just wondering what are my options for a portable DAC/Amp combo to do double duty as a portable amp as well as a DAC. Currently I've only seen these few:
 

• FiiO E7
• FiiO E17 (upcoming)
• iBasso D-Zero
• Leckerton UHA-4

 
Anyone used them and has any idea how different/better they sound? (excluding the unreleased E17, of course) If there are any options I'll be welcome to hear them.
 
Thanks guys!

I am listening to the Senn. HD-800 from the  HP-P1 line out into my Yamamoto HA-02 using lossless files on my iPod 4 Touch.  Nice.
 
I also have the Pico Amp/Dac and it is nice as well.
 
Given that you main sources are the iPods, the Fostex HP-P1 should be your first choice in my opinion.

I'm considering that but price is a HUGE issue for me here. Over here HP-P1 is like 600 SGD, something I can't really afford. One thing is that I'm not using any high impedance cans, so an extremely powerful amp isn't a need here, though of course it'd be a welcome investment.
