Hey guys, do you guys know what's the best DAP to use with my Shure SE530's? I use flac files.

Budget of around $200-300.

Any decent DAP should be able to drive the 16 ohm se530 without issue. The only thing you have to watch out for is hiss.

 

But honestly, focus instead on how you plan on using the DAP. Sedentary work, sports, etc. Do you need to watch videos or podcasts? Do you care whether it uses a proprietary connection? Minimum storage space requirements? And so on. What do you need to fit your lifestyle - figure that out first, and you can actually get advice worth something.

Yeah a rough outline of what features you want would really help us suggest you a player.

There are so many DAPs out there, all with advantages and disadvantages. So a rough idea of what you are after will help .
