As per the title, has anyone seen if the new crop of Windows 8 Phones are compatible with USB DACs? I know surface has no problems with USB DACs, but phones could well be another matter!

Well, I've seen a pair of second hand HE500s for a reasonable price and would like to know if it's a worthwhile upgrade.   For reference, I listen to everything except rap/rnb/hip-hop, country and modern jazz. My most listened to genres would probably be EDM/dubstep, classical and pop.  ...

Ideally it'd be a pure DAC, no headphone amp as I will be using my Schiit Asgard for headphones. So far I've listed: Arcam rLink - £140 Audioengine D1 - £140 Musical Fidelity V-DAC II - £200   The Schiit Bifrost would be an option if the UK price wasn't a straight USD=£ conversion...

Well, I've been told to stop lugging my full size PC(Raven RV02 case with water cooling, so yes, it is enormous and heavy) to and from Uni each year and get a laptop instead.   What reasonably portable USB DACs would you guy recommend? It'd be nice if it plays well with a Matrix M-Stage, as...
