The S.M.S.L RAW-MDA 1 is an all-in-one DAC/Amp for headphones and IEMs. With a list price of $279.99, it falls right in line with mid-level gear. It features a wonderful front display, huge array of connection options, and performs quite well with mixed loads. This seems to be one of the better picks under $300 right now.

The following link is a referral code which saves you $5, and it seems I get $5 in points back as well. I found this out after the fact. Feel free to use the link above, or this one to generate a referral, which gives both parties (yourself included) $5 at checkout. Otherwise, purchase through whichever method you like!
