Hi, which portable amps with dac charge via usb?

I'm looking at:

Predator ?
Corda Meier 2Move (NO. Does not have an integrated charging circuit)
Pico (yes, another post stated that it does)
Ibasso D2 Boa ?


I have the Corda Meier 2Move and the battery door is horrible, which is what led me to ask this question.

Not exactly. Pico does not charge via the USB port. Pico's DAC will run off USB power and not drain the battery (which drives the amp). The USB port will not recharge the amp's battery nor is it used to power the amp either.

Wish I could answer more of your questions...

I don't know of any amp that charges through USB, mainly because USB is 5V and unless the amp runs lower voltage (like a 3.7V battery), it won't have enough voltage to charge the battery without a voltage doubler, but those are noisy.

I think the Iqube can be if you put in rechargeable batteries?

Correct me if im wrong

The iBasso T2 charges via USB.

Not a DAC/Amp, but still.

Boa comes with dac and can be charged via usb. Battery life is around 34hrs.

question for OP. Why is this necessary??? Seems to me you're just putting extra "stuff" (wiring, parts, etc) into a tiny amp-space. Why not just charge out of the wall like every other amp??

The Boa can charge via USB.

Go-Vibe Petite.

iQube as long as you have rechargable batteries in it and get the extra usb charging adapter

My Soundrigor can recharge off USB as long as you have rechargables in there.

Leckerton UHA-3 charges via USB.
