If my work laptop doesn't have enough space for my flac files, what options do I have to bring music to work where I have a Modi 3/Magni 3? Maybe a DAP with a coaxial or optical line out? I'd prefer under $200, but could go higher.

Also interested if anyone has experience with other music transport options, such as a portable hard drive with Foobar, etc.

Thanks!

As my computer has limited storage space, I just copy my lossless files to an large SD card that I carry along with my computer and when I want music, I just pop the card in and listen via USB to my Grace M9XX. Sounds as good to me as my desktop gear.

HiBy R3 is a cheap chioce and sounds pretty good. Does Usb transport and coaxial with a 3.5mm to rca cable also does Airplay and DLNA and supports up to 2 TB cards.

@HiFlight Thank you! I was wondering if there was any sound degradation or lags, so that's good to know.
@buke9 Thanks as well! I've never heard anything by Hiby. Does it come with a coaxial cable?

No it doesn’t come with the cable.
