Or just leave it plugged in, i don't think the glue is really necessary. I bought one of these, on the grounds of some good reviews on audiophile sites:

It's tiny, so it just becomes part of the earphone cable.

Oh wow, I didn't know there were DAC cables, and this is pretty cheap as far as DACs go

It's quite a bit more than a stock phone adapter (46 USD vs 10-15 USD), but still a lot less than, say, a Dragonfly Red (200 USD). And far more compact than the latter.

I have the Sonata paired with some 30 GBP Chi-Fi earphones in my walking-around bag, and a Dragonfly Red paired with some 130 GBP Chi-Fi earphones in my cycling bag. The bike bag can afford to carry the bulkier equipment!

Now i just need to get a motorbike or something, so i can logically justify buying a Dragonfly Cobalt and some really nice earphones ...

And then you can't use the headphones anywhere else.

Then I won't be able to use them with my Macbook Pro
