Thinking of getting a mini portable amp to help with my headphones for the steamdeck (and laptop). Any recommendations? I tried the ifi go link but there was a lot of hiss and pop when navigating the menus of the SD (which quickly becomes annoying). Anyone got other options they like to assist with their audio experience on deck?

    Yes, I bought a cheap $10-20 USB dac using a realtek chip and it works fine. I’d like to compare it to other chips.

    I use really sensitive IEMs with it usually so haven’t had a need.

    But I have connected the Qudelix 5k to it before and used that via bluetooth.

    I have a hip dac for work but meh. Unless I was docked and using the deck in a desktop way, I wouldn’t use that.
