Hello world.
Reading headfi since 2 months, I should thank the lg v30 that let me know more of this high quality audio planet: I noticed some months ago that listening spotify with my headphones doesn't engage me anymore so I ve started to listen less music, when I had read bout lg dac and high quality audio phone I started to search more about it and here I am
Now I've lost myself in the choice of the setup: let's make it clear, I have a ~450€ budget for a dap or an external dac/amp and I've also joined the he4xx drop 'cause he400i for 160€ seemed the best bang for the bucks.
The initial idea was to buy the lg V30 as phone and use it as music source too but, seeing first the Fiio Q5 thread and after that the daps threads I've started asking myself: it is right to spend so much for a phone with good audio capability when I just could spend money for a dap or an external amp/dac that could sound better? Let me know what you think.
Btw in the meantime I was looking to Q5 dac/amp ( it is delayed from ever.. ) and Dap threads, right now I am looking to the A&K 70 but I think it will cost too much for my budget and that if now is coming out the a&k70 mk2 maybe there are competitive alternatives...
Note: I will listen music from Tidal, best files are MQA so if I wil have hardware MQA enabled I will get 24/196 while I will get 24/96 if I will not have MQA hardware... just to say, I am newbie so I don't know the difference.
Waiting impatiently your answers
