Hey all!
Looking for a portable set up.
I looked into a bunch of DAPs and almost pulled the trigger. However, I just can’t stand laggy/clunky interface. The iPod tough 7gen went on sale so I went for it.
Now I’m looking to build a Frankenstein set up.
I’ve ordered the Ikko Zerda to use as a dac - decided between the ikko. Spectra x and dragonfly. But finally settled with the Ikko for convince.
Now, still got the amp spot to fill. I’m looking for a bit of power. 500mW and upwards. Here’s where I need your help!
Need tips for a portable 500mW amp.
Fiio Q5s with am5 module is to expensive for this set up right now and I don’t need the bt features. And if you seen my other threads - I have a Q5s but it is used in another set-up
You could try the Topping Nx3s. 545 mw at 32 ohm. I have one and works decent, you can also roll amps if you want to, plenty of info in the net… Around 50€…
To bad ute not avaiable in europe! Seems decent, the older versions didn’t measure very well. But the new one looks like a big improvement!
It will cost me about 99 usd to get it to Sweden. Which isn’t all that bad. Gets some competition of the fiio A5 though.
I actually ordered the xd05+ last night. But changed my mind this morning it’s just a bit to big, still want to be able to hold it in my hand. BUT. I will probably order one some day, just love the looks of it! And it seems to perform great!
It’s actually 8c here and sunny! Not a hint of snow. However, 15c sounds just a bit nicer
