Hello from a new member!
I have googled for days to find some sort a comparisons of middle class (~300 - 600 €/$) portacle DACs that can be connected to an iPhone, without any luck. There are lots of individual tests and reviews, and pretty much all are just praising how "great sound this tiny little DAC does deliver" ;=)
My DAC should have a battery with USB charging, and it should be small enough to fit a jacket's pocket.
I have currently found following options:
- ADL X1
- V-Moda Vamp Verza
- Cypher Labs AlgoRhythm Solo -R
- Sony PHA-1 / PHA-2
- Denon DA-10
When reading all the tests and reviews, they all look pretty much the same for me. About the same size, same looks, same connections, and they all have "good sound".
So my questions are;
- Does anyone here have any experience on at least the two of the previous DAC's, or any others that fits the requirements? How would you describe the differences on sound quality or characteristics?
- Which one might offer the best possible sound quality with JH Audio JH5 IEM's?
- Is there anything else that I should take into account, when making the choice?
Thank you already!
