I don't really think they will ever release something better than htc 10. The U Ultra is a little worrying and they already treating it like a flagship. also i don't think they will announce it in april.   If you can get a better deal on HTC 10 just do it. new HTC devices cost a lot and...

Okay i need an explanation and please excuse my noob-ness :D   I know that the DAC converts the audio on physical level so i think the term "A specific app is using a DAC and the other isn't" is wrong?   If yes then why is poweramp v3 alpha is better than other players after enabling hi-res...

  the older version called walkman is working perfectly as i stated in my last comment. the newer version called music requires some tweaking to make it work unfortunately. i prefer the older version though

This version of walkman app worked. but xperia options aren't there    

  Sadly not compatible. even a downloaded APK from here didn't work. not sure it's not compatible with nougat or the phone itself. will do some more searching and report back later.

  Thank you @Raketen I went back some pages and found the fix for poweramp which is disabling DVC. this fixed the volume delay and crashing.   I got neutron too and will test it. not happy with the UI but it's not my problem now.   @RockStar2005 I definitely like Sony walkman. Had it on my...

What do you recommend for a music player that takes an advantage of the DAC? I've been using Poweramp v3 alpha and it's so buggy that i can't handle it anymore. i have to re-enable the hi-res output every time the running song ends.

the ONN X5 is better than xduoo x2 ?

looking for a budget 30-40$ dap, what do you recommend?

what do you recommend to get on the coming sale?

          Lol i meant HDS1 sorry :D EDR2 is really cheap. i am waiting sales i maybe will get EDR2 and HDS1 for 12$

  i don't really want another bassy iem. my zircon got enough bass . maybe i will go for KZ HDS3 for 7$ and save my money 

  i made a research before and went with the rock zircon instead of Xiaomi piston/hybrid. definitely a good decision. i was comparing between Joyroom-E107 and Tingo-IE-FL800 but i think i will save more to get a dap because i am tired of my Xperia Z2. i guess i will go with this xduoo X2 bundle...

i am planing to get NX2 soon, any recommended DAP to get with it which is cheap and does the work and preferably with good ui? i wanted to get an old ipod classic but i can't find any in good condition within my budget, 40$ maximum. i was planning to get dac+dap for 70$ but i guess it won't work. 

i've been looking for an amplifier recently and this one just fits my usage. thanks fiio

  it's out of my budget, however if i increased my budget to 70. is dSp better than FiiO Q1?

any recommended budget DAC to try on my xperia z2 for 50$ maximum? thank you

  okay what about Joyroom-E107. also if i increased the budget to 20 would Tingo-IE-FL800 be good? so many options and i am confused now  

  i remember seeing one on ebay for 7$. also there is EDR2 for 5.16$ on gearbest  and i see many people recommending it on KZ thread.   looking for other recommendations. thanks!

looking for something to get with my rock zircon. what do you recommend? 10-15$

after 4 days of usage on Sony xperia Z2 with NC13 tips. the only con is it's a little bassy for my taste. installed viper4android and now this thing is absolutely perfect with very good noise isolation. never thought it would be that good for it's price.

  which one do you recommend to get with the rock zircon? 

  i totally forgot about the auvio tips recommendations .. ordering some too :D

just received my rock zircon .. they are so good that i am ordering another pair. using them with Sony MDRNC13 tips

  thanks for the ed3 youth recommendation. i was going to order ed10 but cancelled it because i think it's close to zircon.   saw many recommended auvio tips for zircons. any idea if the individual tips are the same tips come with their earphones? sorry if stupid question :D
