    I’m looking for a phone to able to listen to all my library outdoors. Will be using the USB Audio Player PRO app. After doing my own research I’ve come across two options, either an A53 5G or an S21 FE or S22 now that the S23 dropped so I could get them for less than 600.

    DAPs compatible with Wavelet

    I currently have an Astell&Kern SA700 DAP for my regular commute, but have found it to be fairly restrictive in terms of the built in EQ and achieving AutoEQ profiles. I do have very good IEMs, but I find that for my ears (I’m approaching 50), having the ability to alter the EQ signature makes a...

    Do most people use cases on their DAPs

    Do most people use cases on their DAPs? Many DAP's come with a plastic TPU case, but other's DAPs don't and you'd have to buy one separately. The plastic TPU cases are nice because they don't add too much bulk to the player and you can see the beauty of the player through the case. The Leather...
