Looking for something to plug into an Android device or Mac to feed my Shures while on the go. I have an O2/ODAC that works well at stationary; but direct connect to my MBA or MBP are both noisy; as is my cellphone. Any recommendations on pairing?
I currently have FiiO e17 which is a bit too noisy even in low gain mode; so I'm hesitant to make a purchase without first hand recommendations...
Considerations..
Geek Out 1000||450||100 USB DAC
AUDIOQUEST - DRAGONFLY V1.2 USB DAC
Audioengine D3 (Strong enough amp..?)
HeadAmp Pico Amp/DAC
RSA Predator
..? I'm sure there are many better options I've not found yet.. Price matters but I can be swayed if things are *that* much better.
Thanks
