I was looking to add an amp/dac, and pretty much settled on the Oppo. I have an Oppo Bluray player. Love it. I was going to use my Macbook Pro (with Audirvana Plus) and Android phone (with either jetAudio or Onkyo HF Player) as the source. Then, I wondered about a DAP instead. A little more convenient. After research, I think the DX90 sounds like a good unit. (Maybe the FiiO X5)
What I'm wondering - would there be SQ advantage to the Oppo? Convenience is... well, convenient, but I've always got my phone with me, and most of the time when listening to this setup I'm on my computer. I'd put up with being tethered to either if the SQ was noticeably better. ... I'd be using IEMs (Phonak Audeo PFE 012, for now) or AKG 450 headphones (which are actually more sensitive than the Phonaks).
I appreciate your input!
