Hey guys,
I am going to be backpacking in Europe in August and I am looking for a portable AMP/DAC that I can use with my Asus UX21A Ultrabook and IEM's. I want to keep the price around $100ish.
I've been looking at the following.
Fiio E17
Fiio X3
Fiio E18
Audioquest Dragonfly V1 & V1.2
HiFimeDIY Sabre U2 Asynchronous DAC
I like the price of the HiFimeDIY and was also told that there is a small OpAmp installed. Would this be powerful enough for IEM's? Let's say Klipsch S4's? (Looking for IEM's also)
Plugging my JVC HA-FR50 IEM's, the volume is severly lacking playing FLAC files through my laptop.
