Which dac/amp “dongle” would you guys prefer?

I recently got the HD 660s2 and I must say that I’m in love. I’ve got plenty of dacs and amps set up around the house for listening but I’m trying to cover the mobile area here. I believe that I have narrowed things down to 2 options that have the same price point with one having slightly better chips but less features. There is the THX Onyx that I believe has the better dac and is using the THX AAA-78 chip. Then there is the FIIO BTR7 which uses dual THX AAA-28’s. I’m not sure if the the onyx setup is dual or not. The BTR7 also has a balanced output to muddy up my decision. So at a 199 price point on both, which do you think would be a good pairing?

Aside from which dongle you think might be best there is also the thought that perhaps these headphones are better served staying indoors with the smsl su8/drop thx setup. I’ve been using AirPods Max with my iPhone when I’m out and about. Frankly for a Bluetooth connection, their lossless streaming through Apple Music and the Max’s ability makes it pretty serviceable.
