Been waiting for this to come back. Not the most modern device at this point, but I love iFi's x-space and x-bass. They work great with the Sennheiser headphones since their two weak points are bass and soundstage.

Burr-Brown DAC vs. ES9038Q2M ESS DAC. I personally prefer Burr-Brown, but tech specs wise judge yourself:

A few links for ya. First is a review that came shortly after release (in 2018) and the second is a review asking if it still holds up in 2023 https://www.headphonesty.com/2018...-ifi-xdsd/

Would it be pointless to use this with Spotify and my Bose headset?

I don't have either, but the second review EricE4951 posted above has a comparison of the two.

I have the same.. Zen Dac/Can Stack V2. This is a great price for this, but since I would want to pair with my iPhone and this only supports aptX through Bluetooth, this is kind of a no go for me. I'll just stick with what I have now the ifi Zen V2 stack and also a BTR5 for BT - which still does a really nice job at its price and size.

Per the description it supports AAC as well, so I am pretty sure it will work with an iPhone also. Well at least that was my plan. It will probably go back if it does not.

aptX and AAC Bluetooth
Connect your phone or device wirelessly via aptX and AAC Bluetooth. Whatever your device, we've got it covered.

I have iFi micro iDSD, and I really like their GTO filter available with firmware upgrade. Not to mention that it worked flawlessly for more than 6 years (other than battery becoming weak). Now I will be able to enjoy same flavor of sound on the go! Thanks!
