Hi all members. I´m here a new, even already readed a lot words from here. Any way, now i think about some "upgrade" or beter say developing my stuff with portable HiFi. I think about some portable DAC/Amp for my laptop or mobile. I look for device around 100-150USD. It this time i have on my focus these device: iBasso D42 Mamba, Topping NX2S, Fiio Q1 Mark II, Topping NX4S. Yes, i know, to much wide selection, but why not. iBasso interest me, because have simple 9V block battery, which i can change by self.
For what i look on this device: I want use it for beter sound from my laptop and mobile. Want longest battery life as possible. Size is also important, but no on first line. I like realy perfect made devices, for realy loooong time using. And definitely - sound quality. Power of amplifier no need be to strong, i don´t like high volume.
Sound - i prefer wide back stage, realy airfull sound, very musician - similar like analog, very clear but no sharp and digital syntetic. I like to hear music long time without pain in my ears or brain, from sharp sound.
My present devices are: Colorfly C4 PRO, and i´m realy happy from his sound /Power is to strong, i never use volume more than for 30%/. Just, maybe sound can be little bit more clear, or dynamic, but no to much. Earphones - Audiotechnica ATH-AD900 and ATH-ES88. Finaly, i realy love sound of Audiotechnica. They catch me for 100%. If i will but some in ear bugs, for 100% from them. If you know sound of Audiotechnica, you can know, which sound i prefer, like. /no important, which brand of earphones, but for example i don´t like BayerDynamic, or Koss, and for sure strong punch sound for techno maniac/.
Almost i listen jazz, post modern music, lounge or ambient, acid jazz and good vocals. But sometime i listen also some progresive techno, but realy melodic.
If you can explane me, or tell me know some personal experience of these DAC/Amps, diferencies, what have beter this or this one, and definitely if you can recommend me something other, i can hear you. Thanks a lot for your help and patience.
