Currently on Rockboxed iPods+Meier Audio Amp but trying to improve SQ.   I love the ipods+Onkyo nd-s1 digital dock+external DACs with my Koss PP & Denon 2000 but, as portable gear goes, I'd like to improve on what I have. Any advice (including similar priced options that are not on my...

[13th May 2012] Go-DAP X - the first DAC/Amp to support multiple devices (iOS, Android 4.1+, PC USB Audio) As mentioned by @ExpatInJapan here, VentureCraft is coming up with a new Go-DAP that can be used for iDevices and for Desktop/Laptop PCs. Preliminary impressions are that it sounds the...

I have seen a lot of discussion about bypassing the Ipod's dac, and there seems to be some options available to bypass the internal dac and extract the digital signal out of the device. However, there seems to be no clear concensus as to whether bypassing the internal dac really does gain...

Being an amateur in this field of DACs and Amplifiers, I would sincerely hope to obtain some great insights and recommendations for iPhone 5. Right now I am eyeing on ADL X1, but how does it scale up in terms of performance to other DACs / Amps around. I can't seem to find a good review for...
