Hiya, I'm looking for recommendations of (both in one) dac/amps for the akg k702s-

I live in the UK and will be buying second hand

They would need to work via an iphone lightning->usb dongle as well as my laptop

I would like it to be portable i.e u don't have to plug it into a wall and ideally not a battery either

I would like to spend no more than £100

I have heard that despite the relatively low impedance of the k702 they really require a solid dac/amp to get the full potential out of them

My research trawling through all of the similar previous threads has lead me to the likes of the audioquest dragonfly red and the fiio e10k, however I'm fairly inexperienced and not feeling confident that these are the best for my specific situation!

Thanks for any advice :^)

It's the low efficiency of the K702 that makes them hard to drive.

I'd get a Fiio KA3. It's under budget new from a store. I think it comes with a lightning cable.
