Does anybody know of an amp-less source component that plays FLAC? Top sound and small size are my priorities for this component. I do not need a built in amp nor the associated headphone output since I will amp the signal using an RSA Shadow. A 1/8" mini line out jack would be perfect. I have been looking for some time now and never came across such a device. Any help?
Ideally, something the size of the RSA Shadow would be ideal. This is a strictly portable setup. I'm willing to spend up to $400 or so for such a device.
The Hifiman HM-601 looks interesting due to it's claim of awesome sound quality, but if I didn't have to pay for the built-in amplifier I would save additional money AND there is room on the manufacturing side to shrink its size..... IF they were so inclined to build my ideal device. One can dream, right?
