The search for a portable headphone amp has lead me to Audiolab's M-DAC Mini:
http://www.audiolab.co.uk/product-detail.php?pid=19
My main sources are an iPod 5.5g, an iPhone 6 and a Cowon P1.
The headphones I use are pretty easy to drive - Fidelio X2, Meze 99, Sennheiser HD-25 and UM Merlins. The P1 drives these quite well but I feel I could be getting more out of them.
This can accept optical in from the Cowon as well as USB in from the i-devices and even Bluetooth in from the phone... but other than a What Hi-Fi review there doesn't appear to be much information on it.
Anybody here have any first-hand experience with the Mini? Other than not having Bluetooth I have considered the Chord Mojo but that is more expensive and possibly due to be replaced with a newer model maybe?
Many thanks
