I am looking for a portable DAC with the following requirements:
 
  1. DAC only (have separate 'Quickstep' amp)
  2. Optical-in as well as USB-in
  3. DAC should be very neutral and transparent
  4. Long power life, with (preferably) replaceable batteries (e.g. 9V / AA etc) - does such a thing exist?
 
If it helps, I would be running Sony PCM-D50 > optical out > DAC > Meier 'Quickstep' amp > Etymotic ER4S or Sony MDR-7520
 
One DAC that I have found is the iBasso DB2. That seems to meet most of my criteria but has an internal rechargeable battery.
 
Thanks for any help.
