Have a pair of Eclipse minis. Need a good amp for it.
Just bought them. TD307MK2A This is for the dashboard of my Sprinter RV. 30 Watts max. The Sony RSX head-unit is the preamp. I need a 120 watt sub amp too. Thanks for a good recommendation. I would like a mosfet. Can I even find a 12 volt amp to do them justice?- skwoodwiva

Update, a Q too for Meizu lovers. (From 10 lbs / $10 of phones lot.)
! Only the x2 needs a screen. The k7 needs buttons & isn't this a good DAC? The Meizu players sound fabulous. Lots of power. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/meizu-m6-sl-vs-original-m6-listening-to-both-right-now.366465/- skwoodwiva

Thinking of adding a crossfeed resistor
I could be accomplished lot of ways. I have both wires in the left chamber. A metal film resistor I think would do it. Can anyone suggest a wattage & "starting value" for my mdr1's 24 ohms they are. I could glue a dip socket in w/ little door! ~ 50 should do @ 1/4 watt?- skwoodwiva

LG K7 from 10 lbs trash, now up! Aristo not bad , does UAPP @ full rates!
But you must set hi rez to 24 bit packed & Android to variable Leave force 16 bit unchecked I found this phone on the street, lol. My take: Interface for A7 better for OTG & such audio niceties. But the amp lacks depth of image. No comparison to the z play also a low end phone, just not as low.- skwoodwiva

Look at linked pics of USBAudio pro http://www.extreamsd.com/index.php/products/usb-audio-player-pro screen shots. You must enable bit rate as variable to get full output from internal DAC & buy the app and EQ. https://www.head-fi.org/posts/14103723/- skwoodwiva
