Hi guys, looking for a good dac/amp for iems/earbuds i use. I need something usb powered and it'll mainly be connected to my laptop. Looking at the ha-2se. I need something which is good for iems/earbuds specifically and i won't be using any pairs of headphones with it. Been using an SMSL idea but not that impressed.

Cheers

The Oppo HA-2SE is highly regarded and looks gorgeous!
The Dragonfly USB sticks as well, especially the Red.

But also the SMSL idea did receive positive feedback - what was your impression of it and what would you expect from another DAC?
Also, what IEMs are you using?
I just invested in my first "decent" pair of IEMs (MEE Pinnacle P1), and find them to benefit less from my Chord Mojo than the full-size NightOwl HP.
