What is your recommendation for a DAC for Android devices?

Hi Jerry,

I know you are a hi-fi enthusiast. I am as well.

What DAC do you recommend for use with Android devices?

Thanks, Jerry! I love it so much that I ordered a tube phono preamp, which will arrive on Wednesday.

Any chance of reviewing it, yet?

What do you think of the DACs that use vacuum tubes? Are those just a gimmick, or do they sound any different or better?

How portable is that?

I'll write something this week.

Not really. I'm using it more with my turntable and headphones than my Android devices. It is fine with Android devices on a desk, but not taking it somewhere.

@Laura Knotek. Ok, I'm curious of your experience into tube-land, not so much a product review.

I'll have something this weekend, and I'll post in off topic, but I'll link it here. It'll be about all the gear I'm using in my setup which is analogue not Android devices. I tried the headphone amp with Android, but lately my music format has been very old technology.

Here's my writeup, which I've posted in its own thread so as to not take this thread off-topic: http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-central-lounge/770199-my-adventures-analogue-gear-turntables-vinyl-lps-valve-amps-more.html#post5682059
