The EvoAria Evo Era is a DAC, a headphone amp and a CD player in a shiny compact aluminum chassis that you can actually carry around. Sources are well covered: USB audio up to 768kHz and DSD512, and Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Adaptive and LDAC.
But wait, there's more! You can choose between dual ES9069 delta-sigma chips or a String R2R section built from over 170 precision resistors. You can also tweak the sound further with selectable analog timbre modes let you shift the character of the sound without going near an EQ. Amplification runs Class A or Class AB depending on what your headphones ask for. Use the internal battery when you're out, or external DC when it's parked on a desk. Also, it has toggle switches! I love toggle switches.
