Hi, I am a new member and any help would be appreciated. I have a Sony Walkman NWZ-F805 with Sony MDR-X10 headphones (which I might upgrade) that I use in an office environment. The midrange is very poor which is a characteristic of these headphones. I have looked at the Fiio products and like the reviews and prices. I just can't figure out what will work with a F805. Do the ones labeled "USB" HAVE to be plugged into a computer at all times or can they be used as a portable device? Also, will I be able to hear any improvement with my current setup by buying one with DAC? Thanks

Perhaps consider fiio x3, as it can be used as player and a DAC/amp through USB on a computer?
