Very good review, thanks for the comparisons.

Really good review. I'm amazed at the spending involved in our hobby to get review merchandise and product to use for our own benefit. I just don't have time but wish I did. I gave up on collecting files, vinyl, CD's and just stream through Tidal and Qobuz. I can't see spending the kind of money required on these DAP's when they don't stream. Are DAP's that much better than from my LG V30 or iPhone 11 through my Dragonfly to my Periodic Audio Carbons? I assume I can't download files to my phone then transfer to the PAW as there would be copyright issues (I don't know, assuming)?

@3Putter Thank you. Yes its not a cheap hobby, but I do enjoy listening to quality music. I can't answer if LG V30 or iPhone 11 is better than a DAP, or specifically this DAP (LP6K) as I don't own either of those products, however I can say that my old AK70mkII sounded a lot better than my Samsung Note 8, and the Lotoo PAW 6000 sounds light years ahead of my AK70mkII ... its not even comparable. Again, i am no expert on this topic, just sharing my views based on my limited experience. Regarding streaming, not sure if what you are asking can be achieved. I personally don't use any streaming services, in fact I owned the AK70mkII for few years and never once used streaming services with that DAP despite it having streaming capability. Just comes down to what you prefer, ones not better than the other.
