Hi guys,

I recently splurged and bought the KSE1200 earphone system. At first I wanted to use my LG V50 as the source, with the KSA1200 amplifier (required for the earphones) attached to its back, but I have realized that it might be too bulky. Furthermore, I've heard several people say that the KSE1200 really benefits from a good source.

My idea is to use a Bluetooth receiving DAC (ideally with the LDAC codec) connected to the KSA1200 to stream music from my LG V50. I only need a single ended output on the DAC.

Therefore, my question for you guys is which Bluetooth receiving DAC is the best sounding but also fairly small?

It looks like the best sounding might be the Chord Hugo 2, but it's not exactly small. The smallest one which looks to have decent sound is the Fiio BRT3K. However, there are a lot of DACs out there so please help me out!

Thanks!

Qudelix 5k is great!
Also has PEQ so you can add some EQ if needed
Oh and it remembers previous volume which is essential if you don’t want to reset the volume to the right level for the KSE amp every time
