As mentioned in another thread, I'm looking for a powerful USB-C AMP/DAC with mic in to shove in my laptop bag.

I currently have a Soundblaster G3 but feel like it doesn't cut it with harder to drive headphones now.

I've been doing some reading and been recommended the following so any thoughts or recommendations?

SXFI Amp - Currently reduced from £139 to £39
THX Oynx - Seems like an interesting product.
Qudelix 5K - Might be harder to come by in the UK.

Any others?
 
Following on from your other reply in the SXFI thread. I think I may give the ifi hipdac2 a shot. Its a pity that it doesn't have mic in or it would be an instant purchase. Perhaps I'll get a Go Blu and a hipdac to compare. Maybe if I'm happy with the sound, I might need to look at another mic solution but ideally with the limited space and items I can take, The smaller more all in one device may be best.
 
I'll take a look. I don't mind buying open box items from Amazon either as have done this several times in the past. I think I also have a £50 voucher attached to my account that I was given from my work so this will contribute to the costs.

£600 for the Gryphon is a bit rich for my use case but can see where it would benefit others for sure! I do have a Soundblaster G6 I can utilise for now so that will tide me over until I decide which items to buy and test.
