Hi i am trying to find a usb/dac that is battery driven and has a good 3.5mm single ended output to drive full size headphones (low impedance eg oppo pm3/momentum 2 wired/meze 99).

I want to use it from a tablet (usb c/android) and want battery powered and reasonably small.

Any ideas (smaller the better if possible)

thanks

The Topping G5 has great performance and much better value for money than the Astral n Kern ones I've had. Just don't go too small or the battery life won't be worth it on the tiny ones.

sorry they're all usb powered, fiio btr3k or btr5 might be the way to go, they have bluetooth as well
