Dear What Hi-Fi,
I was wondering if we could have a category in the reviews for 'DACs + Headphone amps'? Currently there is one for 'DACs' and one for 'Headphone amps' but combined devices are scattered between both categories and are difficult to find at a glance.
Please, please, please can we have a mega-test on these combined DACs + Headphone amps in a future mag? They seem to be getting a lot more popular lately. If you would consider ever doing this I would love to see some of the following models in there?
● Fiio D5
● Lindy USB DAC
● Fiio E17
● Audinst HUD-MX1
● Aune mini DAC X1
● IBasso D7
● Arcam rPAC
● Yulong U100
● Audioengine D1
● Firestone Fubar 4 Plus
● Yulong D100 mkII
● Practical Devices XM6
● CEntrance DACport
● Asus Xonar Essence One
● Nuforce Icon HDP
● Matrix Quattro DAC
● Fostex HP-P1
● Govibe PortaTube+
● Firestone Libby
● Burson HA-160DS
And if you could compare any new models with the ones you have already reviewed that would amazing!:
● Fiio E7
● Cambridge Audio DACMagic Plus
● Matrix Mini i
● TEAC UD-H01
● Audiolab M-DAC
● HRT Headstreamer
