Hi to everyone,
i'm a student and for many reasons i study in another city for the university, so, my problem is listen music wherever i may be (home or outside).
The ideally is a dac and and amp but of small size (to carry it with me anywhere), my budget is around 120-150$, another question is that i prefer the tube sound for its warmth

But i know that this factor make complicated for this budget.
Is better a dac with an amp built in or separate stuff??
What can i buy with my money???
Thanks in advance guys!

P.S. another problem, i've an akg 240 MKII that is thirsty of current

possible solutions can be:

- zero dac
- aune mkII
- hotaudio40 dac+amp
- bantamdac/grubdac + little amp

Wich is the better solution in your opinions??
Actually i have a x-fi on my notebook

Thanks

Thank for your reply
I know this product, seems interesting and of good quality, i'll investigate about its sound.
Now I've finished my amp, maybe a dac could be sufficiente and less expensive for me and upgrade my amp in the future.

This seem to be cheaper and of good quality, at the same price I can also consider an hotaudio40 product, right?
