Hi all im just wondering if anyone can advise a good android smart phone ( not too expensive ) that will power my set up and provide good quality sound?
 
I have Philips Fidelio X1 headphones and Fiio E17 DAC running on my laptop but its annoying when i just want to lie on my bed and chill out  without a bulky laptop by my side....

Most android phones that support OTG (on-the-go) will be able to power the E17. I myself just a few days ago purchased the Fiio E10K for my Moto X. Personally, as a fanboy of stock (or mostly stock) android, I'd recommend the New Moto X. While I have the old one (generation 1 developer edition), I can assure the the new Moto X is nothing but an improvement. But basically any android that supports USB OTG will be able to power the E17. If not, simply buy a USB hub. Your setup should go something like this: Source -> USB OTG cable -> USB cable -> Fiio E17 -> Headphones.

You can also connect things like flash drives, keyboards, and mice to your phone. Its very useful. Here is a picture of my setup
