Sorry, don't have NX1.  You are right, just looked up the spec, it's an amp only (like E11k).  Sounds like your setup should work great!
 
That DAC is very small, here it is next to my N2:

DX did not responded yet. I will let you know what they will have to say. And thanks a lot for pointing out the minireview for LINE5 A970. It seems like a quality amplifier, but at the same time, from the review, it does not look like handling the bass very well. And I like bass a lot...


It won't boost the bass at all, so if you want more bass, I don't think you'll enjoy the amp.

Spider Realvoice, Fischer Audio Tandem(8.6 in SQ on Joker's scale). Um, Fischer Audio Paradigm v.3 I've heard of.  And then I see some Vsonics down there at the other end.

So, much more quality sound with sabre or just a little improve?


The results will vary from phone to phone and how it pairs up with your headphones, keep that in mind.  For me, the improvement was somewhere in the middle.  I haven't used it in awhile, but remember it wasn't enough to justify carrying an extra dongle around.  It was more than a little, but not enough to carry this dac connected to Note2/headphones.  But to use it as a tool to connect quality amp - it's a different story, and will be a must have device in your signal chain :)
