Headphone amps (the portable ones) are battery powered.
Bit inconvenient
The stationary headphone amps are probably more expensive than you are willing to spend.
USB DACs: USB audio on Android is still in its infancy. I wonder if the Fiio you mentioned can be used as a USB DAC as it requires Android to support 24 bits over USB.
You might as well have a look at Bluetooth receivers.
They are cheap and you can stream from your phone to the Bluetooth receiver connected to the stereo.
An even cheaper solution is Chrome cast audio ($25)
