Hi would something like a jds atom improve the sq versus Bluetooth using ldac? Thanks.
Depends on the BT codec you are using.
Im pairing Deva with Sony Nw-zx507 using LDAC and it sounds really amazing.
Cable is always better than Bluetooth even if it is LDAC.
The headphone responds very well to gear upgrades.

I've read cable and an amp opens up the bass so I guess my questions are 1. Is this true and 2. Is something small like an atom sufficient?
EarMen TR-Amp. It's nit too expensive but delivers a very clean performance (unlike Tempotec Sonata iDSD). You will be pushing the TR-Amp to the extremes (if you like listening to louder volumes), this will significantly affect the battery life of it, but the sonic performance is clean and expanding (dynamic range)Would there be a portable amp that would work well with the deva? I like the option of the mobility.

What's your budget?
I would bet on EarMen over Fiio any day. Without a doubt.Hmm I've not come across the EarMen TR, I'll have to look into this as well. I was actually looking at the Fiio Q5s, but I'm not sure if that's ideal? I think that would be my upper limit in terms of budget.
