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.
The question is then, do you need class D to run a pair of headphones or could you just run it on 1 ADH chip? You only need about 1 Watt or so don't you?
