Hi people I hope Im in right place to my question.

I will buy a new dac to my smartphone. I like big soundstage and neutral detailed sound.
My candidates:

1- Ifi nano black label (Burr-brown? Chip)

2- Any dac with 2 cirrus 43131 chips and 2 opamp chips)

3- Any dac with single Ess Sabre 9038Q2M chip.

Im thinking to upgrade my cable to balanced cable. 2 chips will be amazing to do that?
Im listening mostly soundtracks and orchestral.
My headphones sennheiser ie100 pro and hd 280 pro. Thanks bros.

Ifi makes some excellent stuff and their portable DAC/amps are top notch. Alternately if you're playing from a phone, something like the Cayin RU7 or TRUTHEAR SHIO Dongles might be an even better choice since they're more portable. Hope that helps!
