Hi All,
 
I'm wanting to buy a integrated DAC Amp for my Sony Vaio Laptop, the cans I will be using are Audio Technica ATH-ES55. 
 
My budget for the integrated DAC Amp is £200 max.
 
I currently have a separate Headphone Amp (Pico Slim) which I use on a daily basis connected to my IPOD.  Ideally I would like the DAC to be integrated with an Amp as I want it to be as portable as possible.
 
Could anybody give me any suggestions on what to go for in this price range?
 
Thanks in Advance,
MusicSoul

I'd look at selling the Pico amp and buying a new one - with integrated DAC. Same size as the amp-only Pico
