Thinking about getting the HD820 for moving around in the house with a DAP. Anyone driving theirs with a DAP? Not sure if there is one out there to drive it to its potential.

The new Astell and Kern Kann Cube works well with the HD820 and has plenty of juice for it!

Phone + DAC: I use the HD820 with my iFi xDSD and love it; buckets of power and no problem driving it in s-balanced mode.
DAP: My FiiO M9 is too anemic and struggles to drive them with "Balance Boost" turned on. Not recommended.

I'm sure a Walkman or an A&K could do 'em justice.

I may get like a Lotoo Gold Touch or Cayin N8. Haven't been listening to the Susvara's that much because I can't move it around and switching desktop setup to speakers. A more portable option that I can listen to in bed and all around the house makes more sense.
