Hi Guys, 

I'm trying to get get an idea as to what portable DAC and HP Amps are out there for use with an iPad and iPod whilst out and about / away on Business / Holiday etc. I am looking for a portable solution which will bypass the internal DAC of the Apple and will be used with a pair of Sennheiser IE6's. So far I have come across the following potential products:

NuForce Icon iDo

Fostex HP-P1

FiiO E7

I believe that all three of these products bypass the internal Apple DAC vis a LOD Cable.

Does anybody have experience of these products and or alternatively recommend any other portable DAC / HP Amp solutions.
