Budget portable DAC/AMP for beginner

[pob1]

Hi
Need some help on trying to decide on a budget portable DAC/AMP for Galaxy S7 & PC.
Will be running Sennheiser HD25's at home and KZ ZSR's when out.
Mostly listening to rock or electronic LowFi
I already have a fiio e11k amp which i may or may not keep depending on solution.

Currently looking at Fiio E17K , Q1 mark II or the dragonfly black.

Any help or opinions would be most welcome

Just get a mojo or one of them ifi products and be done with it before things get messy.

Divorce, drinking problems, black market kidneys -- you avoid all those beginner mistakes.

It will be good for you to bring your headphone and sources with you to have an audition with them. The sound signature for those DACs are different and it is very subjective. There is no hard and fast rule to determine a good audio component. Find your sweet spot and enjoy it no harm explore more and have more auditions if you had the opportunity. Enjoy!

I absolutely love my Fiio Q1 MK2. Super portable and a really nice sound in my opinion. Also capable of DSD if that is your thing.

Yep this is looking to be a main contender , I would'nt need the e11k anymore if I got this.
Although the X3 mk2 has crept onto the radar also , any thoughts on wheter this would need an amp paired or just solo ?
