DAC for iPod/iPhone

Interesting device, but with a separate power supply it is not very portable, alas.

Have a look at iFiAudio's nano iDSD.

That may be what you are looking for. They are also planning a micro (slightly larger) iDSD with improved headphone amps.

You can also look at Algorhythms's Cypher Solo which I have been using.

Look at JDS Labs website. They've got a DAC/headphone amp that works with modern idevices.

Thanks Peter and DH. I already have a JDS portable headphone amp which I think is an excellent piece, so I respect the company.

I would highly recommend the Pure i20. $85 on Amazon. Great DAC and clean digital out if you use another DAC. With headphones I recommend deiving the analog outs of the i20 toa tube headphone amp. Nothing like tubes for headphones.
