In my quest for a new portable DAC/AMP, I am looking at spec sheets and growing confused. I currently have a fiio e12 with a power output of 880mW/32 Ohms. I am interested in the Centrance HiFiM8 or the Theorem 720. The Theorem has a power output of 205mW @ 32 Ohms. My audioquest dragonfly has an output of 125mW @ 32 ohms. I've listened to each of these fairly extensively and each offer different sound and capabilities, with the theorem leaving me feeling like it blows the other two out of the water with its sound quality and power. On paper though, It doesn't quite compute. I also was interested in the RAL DAC/AMP that reports 38mW @ 68 Ohms, but this amp has had great reviews from people using it to drive reasonably difficult cans.
Can someone clear this up concisely?
