Budget: $300-400
 
Music: Dubstep [Skream, Aerial, Milanese] Modern/Indie Rock [The Microphones, Radiohead, Modest Mouse] Guitar-centric Classic Rock [Stevie Ray Vaughan, Allman Brothers]
 
Cans: Beyer Tesla T1s, Beyer DT990/600, Sennheiser HD650 [Headphile Terminator V4 coming soon]
 
Predicament: Sold and shipped my amp today and ordered the Decware CSP2+. The turn around time for these is about 4 weeks so I'm ampless until then if I don't get a portable amp. I also just started school and have some time between classes where I can lay in the shade and crank up some tunes.

 So, I figured, I should get a portable amp for at school and for road trips which will hold me over until the Decware gets here.
 
The only (portable) source I have right now is a Sandisk Clip with FLAC files. I would prefer an amp that has an integrated DAC. I may eventually get some IEMs for portability reasons but that's not really an immediate concern of mine.  I'm looking at the Meier Audio Stepdance but I'm unsure if it has an integrated DAC: http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/amplifiers.htm
 
Thanks in advance for your bestowing your wisdom upon me!

Just curious that why you include T1 by your budget? I don't think a well-functioned T1 can be bought by lower than 400$ now.

I'm looking for a portable amp. I already have T1s.
