Setup - Retina Macbook Pro, iPhone 6 & Sony Walkman NXZ - 1000. Currently using Sennhesier Momentum over ears + IE8/RHA t10i.

I'm looking for a portable, reasonably priced DAC (Under £150 preferably) for use mainly with the Mac (the onboard sound card isn't quite cutting it) and iPhone 6. I had thought about the Audioquest Dragonfly v1.2 but that can't be used with an MP3 player.

Thought about the FiiO Andes E07K - but there's not much info out there about them. Any other recommendations...? :)
 
Slightly over budget but if you can stretch perhaps iFi Nano iDSD (£170).
 
Thanks for your suggestion! Seven Oaks had a clearance on the HRT Microstreamer for £119 - I couldn't resist....
 
Dun be in a rush. Checkout Schiit dacs and the Meridian Explorer.
 
I did check out the Schiit dacs, none were portable though. As for the Meridian, if the budget allowed i'd have bought that one. At the price, the HRT was a no brainer though!
