Is there a battery-powered USB DAC that can charge a phone while also converting data?

FiiO E18 Kunlun--not sure if it will charge and output simultaneously. There might be other ready-made options, or you could DIY one with a splitter of some sort.

The original iFi Micro iDSD Black Label has usb input for audio, and a separate USB output exclusively for charging other devices from its internal battery. It’s charging output isn’t very high though, so the connected device’s battery may still drain—just at a slower rate.

Honestly, Your best bet would be to pair a portable DAC/amp with a small external battery bank. Something like this from Anker can stack easily, while also providing fairly decent charging speed and capacity.

Oppo HA-2. I have an extra HA-2SE if you are interested in one.

This would work but requires AC charger.

However, you could Jerry-Rig it with a portable pocket charger. For the money it sounds pretty good, but there are obviously more higher end portable DAC/AMPS.
