Hello everyone. I want to buy the aforementioned eaprhones and I know I need a good portable AMP/DAC to go with them, at which I am not good at all. I am posting this here asking for help, should any of you be qualified for offering such advice. My budget is maximum $500 for the portable AMP/DAC. Hope to hear some good opinions about it.

Some info on the ES5 earphones (vital for choosing a good amp):

Sensitivity: 120 dB SPL/mW

Frequency response: 8 Hz - 20 kHz

Impedance: 20 ohm

Thanks for the time guys! Happy
