Hello.
I've decided to upgrade my portable setup by adding an amp/dac. I'm using the LG G2 smartphone with Vsonic GR07 earphones (which I probably will upgrade later too). It's the first time I'm buying an amp/dac so I'm pretty unexperienced, despite a long research I've done.
Right now I'm trying to decide whether to buy Fiio Q1 or Dragonfly Black. Fiio is much cheaper at $70, and Dragonfly will cost about $110 for me including shipping. On the other hand Dragonfly is supposed to be much better and portable, which is important for me. What concerns me the most is Dragonfly's battery usage as it uses power of the USB. I don't want it to drain my phone in an hour or so.
So I would really appreciate some advice from the more experienced people here for a good starter choice.
Thanks.

I can't comment on the Fiio Q1 as I don't have it. But I can verify that both AQDF Red & Black are huge battery drains on both my Android (HTC One M8) and Windows Phone (Lumia 950XL).They both sound excellent however.
