Hi guys,
I'm looking for a portable-ish amp dac to drive my recently purchased mx4,
I was considering the fiio q5 or the mojo, as well as the iFi xdsd,
Which one of those would improve the soundstage of my headphones? Is there a really notable difference between those?

I was also considering the iFi iDSD bl, or maybe the audiogd r2r, though not really portable, would those be a noticeable improvement compared to the three portables mentioned above?

Thanks in advance for any reply

Looks cool, do you have experience with it?

No, but I heard others say that it works very well. I have heard the LCD-MX4 and it is definitely easier to drive than the LCD-4, so I think the pairing will work very well together.

iFi xDSD should pair very well with the MX4, but I haven't heard them one on one, so cannot give authoritative answers.
FiiO Q5/Q5s should work well too.

In all honesty I can actually power a pair of MX4 with my Galaxy S9+ smartphone.
