Anyone know if the dacport slim workout directly with LG G3? Or it Needs external power ?

Even if it should work battery drain is heavy enough for it not to be realistic without external power anyway (in my experience ).

Given the powerful output on the Slim this is quite natural. If you're looking for a solution that doesn't need external power I'd suggest to look at something with less output power.

Aha, its been so long since I've got a phone with replaceable battery that the thought didn't cross my mind

That would of course br sufficient.

In general, Class A amps and portable use are not a good match. DACport gets very warm, regardless of the amount of power actually required by the headphones - so you will be using your phone's battery to heat the space around you.

I have a DACport HD, and even when used with a laptop (Surface Pro) extra load on the battery is quite noticeable.

Thank you, well I've already dropped one it will be arriving soon, I'll try, worst case, I'll use it at home/other use.

I was able to get the iPhone 6 to work with the DACport Slim:
 
The contenders (I chose the lower left device - Gear Head 4 port USB hub):

 
iPhone 6, Apple CCK, at least 3 port USB hub, USB to USB cable (male to male) to Anker External Battery (or power from outlet), USB cable to Centrance, earphone/headphone of choice:

 
Setup with HE1000

It might work in a pinch, but looks very unwieldy and far from portable!

Bit good job on finding a solution!

This was just for demonstration purposes - to see if it could be done.  For true amp portability you can use a much shorter USB to USB male cable, smaller capacity (and therefore smaller) external battery charger, use a strap/wristband with the iPhone, hub, DAC/port Slim, and wear smaller headphones or listen to earphones.  
 
When out and about, admittedly I want the utmost in portability, so I use the QP1R as the portable high-fidelity solution.

OT, how is qp1r?? Have you used the ak120ii or 100ii?? How does it compare to them??

I guess, probably with powered speakers though!
