USB choices for line-out

[chris_ah1]

Hi all. Just a two simple questions this time:
Would a supermacroIV be an improvement over a porta corda MKIII USB?

Also, given the supermacro has no USB dac, would I be best served by pairing it with the:
imic2 from griffin OR
the Miglia Harmony Express OR
the Xitel Hi-fi link.

Portability issues mean I really need one of these smaller devices like the corda or a small USB snd card rather than a big DAC and an amp.
All three seem to give line-out and I don't think any of them have headphone amps inside......or am I wrong on that?

You can use the Porta as a headphone amp.!

Yeah, well I alredy figured that out hence the question.

The point was supermacro > porta corda MKIII USB? I liked the corda because I wouldn't have to carry around a USB DAC and an amp.
If no, then which of the line out devices would be best?

Although, I would find it hard to go for the porta corda until i know more about the headphonia.
