NECO SOUNDLABS PORTABLE V.2 AMP
new V3 DUAL AMP portable headphone amplifier | eBay
ODAC + Neco V3:
"It is by far the best usb dac i have ever owned. No thoughts of bothering to look for an upgrade. At my age i am sure it will see me out.
Using it with a Neco Soundlab V3 and Grado SR-325is's.Nirvana at last...."
Epiphany Acoustics E-DAC Review Thread
"ODAC + NECO V.3 + Sennheiser HD580 = A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
I can't tell you how beautiful this rig sounds. We all know how well the HD580/600 scales with better sources and amps.. but synergy is often undervalued. The ODAC is beautifully resolving and clean.. but the Neco really steals the show, IMO."
NECO SOUNDLABS PORTABLE V.2 AMP
"It's downright disturbing how incredible this combo sounds with the HE-500. In fact, it should probably be illegal (**looks at Arizona**).
When driving the HE-500. I like this combo more than the O2."

AudioQuest Bumblebee Android DAC:
http://www.avland.co.uk/aasp/audioquest ... blebee.asp
"Designed specifically for Android devices
24-bit ESS Sabre conversion chip
Supports all music files including 24-bit/192kHz lossless
Drives headphones directly with 3.5mm mini-jack output
Fixed or Variable output modes
Asynchronous transfer for accurate digital timing
64-position (computer-controlled) analog volume control
Isolated dual master clocks
Colour changing LED to indicate source sample rate"
I am wondering if the AudioQuest Bumblebee Android DAC is a standard self-powered USB DAC or an Android-specific USB DAC.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android ... b-dacs/135
The AudioQuest Bumblebee should be likely an AudioQuest DragonFly with built-in rechargeable battery, because it "supports all music files including 24-bit/192kHz lossless".
http://www.head-fi.org/t/617241/audioqu ... ny-dac-amp
http://www.stereophile.com/content/audi ... -converter
And an Android-specific USB DAC can support only 16-bit/44.1kHz:
http://developer.android.com/tools/adk/ ... io-support
If the AudioQuest Bumblebee is a standard USB DAC, while using with a PC or a Mac, the sound quality of the AudioQuest Bumblebee should be superior to the sound quality of the AudioQuest DragonFly thanks to a clean battery power.
