Hello, I had a thread earlier about just amps under $200, but now I am upping my budget to get an AMP/DAC combo for under $300 that will power the AKG Q701 and the ATH M-50s (I assume an amp with enough power for the Q701 can be quite capable of driving the M-50s).
 
I have read a lot of posts on this forum and reviews and I have come up with a few all-in-ones and a combo. I am also open to suggestions.
 
Leckerton UHA-6S.MKII

JDS Labs O2/ODAC combo

iBasso D12

Thanks for the help.

I hate bumping my threads but I can not find many reviews and information on the iBasso. It really looks like the iBasso or the Leckerton but I want a good comparison between the two.
 
Any help?
 
Thanks

Are you looking for bring it with you strapped to an iPod portability like the D12 and Leckerton or "has a battery but not really strap to an pmp portable" such as the O2 and ODAC combo?
 
I have not heard the others but can say that depending on what genres and artists you listen to, the O2 pairs well with the Q701

I would probably prefer the Leckerton or the iBasso but I am perfectly fine with purchasing the O2.

This won't answer the DAC part, but $200 amps comapred by our very own CLEIOS (Tai) 
 
As someone with the O2, it is good but it very depends on your genres.

I'm happy with my dacport. you can find them used around $300.
