hi, i need a small highly portable dap which sounds brilliant from headphone out (no additional amp needed) for use when out and about (walking, shopping, waiting for my wife to finish shopping etc.).

i have a fiio x5/e12a but i find it a little large/heavy to carry out too much.

I use shure se535 and rha t20 iems and want suggestions from people that have found what i am looking for and used them.

Reliability and support and are also desirable features, i am not too bothered by the UI as i play through folders.


Thank you

Hi Andy, i think you might have misunderstood, i want a dap not a dac/amp such as you suggest and i want a small one.

Thought it was a spelling mistake:)
update: iBasso dx80 looks a bit big though
