They have developed Spark which works on a tablet so it's only a matter of putting the two together, throw in a battery and some memory and you have a PMP of the highest order. Astell & Kern and Pono move over!
Could be possible but don't forget the miniaturization of the ADH amplification has "only" grouped both the “Magic Wire” (=DAC and I/V conversion) and the Class A circuitries into a single component, the class D part of the solution is still external.
