Hey, I'm from Kolkata, just bought the ATH-M50X, I've got a very low budget as I'm a student all I get is pocket money that to also 500 per month imagine that, I save all my money for my crave for music and I'm looking to buy a portable DAC now that can be powered my my phone, looking to buy Audioquest Dragonfly but I'm getting it no where in Kolkata can anyone please guide me what to do the Inbuilt DAC on my phone is worst than anything. Thanks...
Dragonfly is expensive for your budget then go for
1. Centrance slim from massdrop about $110. Other options are
2. Hifime Dac/amp. Really cheap and good performance. http://hifimediy.com/index.php?route=common/home They have many options according to your requirement and budget.
3. ZuperDac. SImilar to Dragonfly.
4. Cheaper options like Fiio A1/Q1 but they have compatibility issues.
Note: Hifime draws less power so will run longer with your phone battery but built quality is not premium. Centrance has been serving me real good but draws huge power but so will all Class A amps. So if you can carry a power bank Centrance or ZuperDac are my choice.
