They all seem to have a pretty neutral sound signature, and...

    Using Apple usb-c DAC and hip-dac with Zec CAN instead of full DAC with pre-amp?

    Thinking of getting amp to get more power to my Sundara headphones than what my portable hip-dac can provide but skip on buying another DAC to save some money since I don't use often streaming source higher than 24/48khz.
