I was listening to the Gold Bar right now. It's a great dongle!! one of the best I have. But certainly the convenience and, often, the sound quality of a good DAP have to be considered. 👍🏻

Thank you friends!! I'll take a good look at what I'm going to do. The N7 is tempting!!

Thank you friends!! Your answer will help me make a better decision. I almost managed to buy a Sony last week, but unfortunately I couldn't. Meanwhile, an N7 appeared on sale for me... but it's still not that cheap. I've been thinking a lot about what to do... Maybe I have to make more use of...

Thank you friends!! Your answer will help me make a better decision. Maybe I have to make more use of what I already have... good dongles... the DC-Elite is a great dongle... I also like the Gold Bar... and I still have a DX300 that is working very well... very responsive and on battery Still...

I know there will be bias bias in the specific thread. I thought about collecting information from users about why they chose the DAP in question.

Friends, for almost the same price (maybe a difference of €100) which of these 2 would you get and why? Sony NW-WM1AM2 Uncapped version X Cayin N7 . I'm asking this question here because the DX260 is also on my radar, but I may stretch my budget to purchase one of the other two above...

Friends, for almost the same price (maybe €100 difference) which of these 2 would you get and WHY? Sony NW-WM1AM2 Uncapped version X Cayin N7 . I posted this same question in both threads to get mixed opinions. Important information: I will not play DSD. Only PCM and stream regularly to...

It's the best dongle in my collection!! I have no doubt about that!! The Elite hasn't given my other dongles a chance... in fact, only the Ifi Gold bar has still seen a little use after the Elite arrived. This dongle is amazing!!

Thank you very much, friends! Unfortunately, I don't have the possibility to test most of the products I buy, especially IEMs and DAPs. I always have to trust reports like this or reviews from some reviewers who I trust more and who have preferences similar to mine. It has worked most of the...

On some previous pages I asked about possible problems with sensitive IEMs because of the high output impedance on the M5U. Even after receiving a response that this high impedance could affect the sound of some sensitive IEMs, I thought that this DAP would not be for me, as my use will be...

Violectric HPA V222 Purchased on February 26, 2024. Used for a few hours, so it's practically new. Immaculate power cord. In perfect aesthetic and working condition. Unfortunately I don't have time to use it. I'm slowly switching to using IEMs only, as I spend a lot of time away from home. I...

IFI Hip Dac Gold Edition With internal updates that provide an even substantial improvement to the already great sound of the Ifi house, with its very musical Burr Brown chip. Great power. Xbass and powermatch add versatility to the product. In perfect condition. Few hours of use, therefore...

Cayin RU6 Working perfectly. Little use and still with protective films on the front and back. Complete boxes. OFFER: Original RU6 case

Unfortunately I still haven't been able to listen to the W4. I'm very interested in including this dongle in my collection, but I don't want to pay full price for a new one. And I'm interested in the non-EX version. I'm waiting for an announcement on the used market here in Europe so I can try...

I have a RU6, RU7, Ifi Gold Bar, Ibasso DC-elite and if you want to consider the Qudelix as a dongle, I have that too. Each of them has its specific characteristic that makes me look for it after choosing which song I will listen to and which IEM I will use. Everything is synergy!! But, I...

I use the R3 pro saber 2022 to power my dongles with the help of the Ibasso CB19 cable and a powerbank. Smaller and easier to transport than a 6” Samsung that I have here at home, which I also only use as a player for the dongles+CB19+powerbank, but it is much larger and does not have physical...

Just a small correction to my comment. My R3 pro Saber 2022 has streaming. I wanted to say that I only use it for local files when I'm on the go. But, my interest now is in a DAP with more complete streaming and that is a little smaller than my DX300 for easier portability. And that it has a...

Thank you for helping to clear my mind!! 😂 It seems that the DX260 is a little ahead in this dispute.

Can any A&K under €1200 compete with recent DAPs in this price range? I don't see many new A&K options in this price range. I think just the SR35. But recently I saw some used ones under €1000, for example the SE180 with SEMA4. In your opinion, Which A&K, new or used, in the price range of up to...

That's what I feel!! It seems that among the 3 that are most under discussion here, the DX260 seems to fit a little more into the description I made. The R6proII and the M15s seem to have some particular characteristic that could move them away from neutrality a little. The DX260 seems to do the...

Thank you Rigatio!! In your opinion, could a cheaper A&K deliver a good percentage of what the SP1000 or SP2000 deliver? Given so much product that I already have and for the use I will give the DAP, I don't want to pay so much... I know that many people talk about the A&K operating system. I...

In your opinion, in all this immense text of mine that describes what I want to find in a DAP is the answer which would be the DX260?? You now sound like those Coaches who say: “The answer to your life’s dilemma is already in your mind.” 😂 Is it really the DX260?? 😂 😂 I still haven't figured...

Thanks for the tip!! But, does the N3ultra, with its tubes, have a neutral sound? I thought the tubes would wash the sound towards the warmer, more analog side. And even so, even though I have a good library of FLAC music, I need streaming because I use it to discover new albums and new artists...

The DAP size being slightly smaller than the DX300 size is also a deciding factor in my choice. I listen to all genres of music, one day it could be metal, like Judas Priest's great new album, for example, but another day it could be a vocal from Allison Russell, Samara Joy, Gregory Porter...
