    This may be what you are looking for. Bought this in December for about £90 including shipping.

    Cannot rate this highly enough. I use the balanced 4.4mm output with my HifiMan headphones.

    More than enough output from my phone. Great sound quality. Only downside: it runs a little warm.

    I don't know what it would be about your Audio GD that makes it less fatiguing than some other DACs for you but that's interesting that it does. Which model is it?
    At the moment I'm using an NFB 3.1, I've got two of those, a later NFB 10 and an earlier Fun. They all have the WM8741 chip in common. I couldn't get on with his Sabre and R2R DACs but to be fair the Sabre one was quite early and the R2R the cheapest one.

    I've a couple of DACs that I've not used for at least 5 years when I moved house so probably should look to move them on. A Topping TP30 Mk 2 and a portable Cambridge DACmagic XS.

    The Topping I used mainly as an amp with small speakers to improve sound from tv but I also had a small pc connected from USB for streaming. The Cambridge I just used with a pc and headphones, a quick google indicates that some people have got it to work with a phone, and some that have struggled and Cambridge say it wasn't designed for phones.

    The Topping uses a printer type USB connector and the Cambridge micro usb.

    Pricewise £45 for the Topping and £25 for the Cambridge.

    Let me know if you are interested.

    I am looking into this as not too expensive to take a punt... but Grant's SMSL is looking tempting.
