    DAP help!

    I'm back with more questions! I have been on the hunt for the right DAP for me. Initially, I was going to go with more mass-market Sony Walkman. Decided against that (too expensive for what you get). I looked at all the major brands - HiBy, Shanling, etc. I seriously considered the DX220 (even...

    Where do I go from here?

    Hey everybody, I'm new to the audiophile market and I have so many questions. I purchased AKG K371s and K553s - my original plan was to buy both and return the pair I liked less. Then I found that I actually really enjoyed both and corona happened, so I think I might just keep them. I've got a...

    Player for my daughter

    Hi, My daughter wants a music player for her birthday. We stream amazon music and pandora. I don’t want to give her a device that can surf the web like an iPod or android. Anyone have any suggestions? Fidelity is less important than price and features. Thanks!

    DAP Recommendation

    I am looking for a DAP, primarily to play FLAC files (some MP3). Is there a DAP with a line out that can connect to my Modi & Magni - and bypass the DAP's internal DAC? I was using a laptop as source, but my new job won't allow for that. I don’t need excessive storage, 500 or 256 will do...

    First post :) - hello everyone! I have been the happy owner of a Fiio X7 for a while now, sounds (IMO) fantastic but as is well documented the UI is clunky and the battery life is getting a little restrictive! I have not had the good fortune of listening to an array of other DAP's and am...

    DAP alternative to Hiby R3 Pro

    Hello guys, I am currently looking to buy my first dap. After a bit of research, i found the Hiby R3 Pro, which looked really promising.

    looking for an entry level DAC/DAP

    currently, i'm listening to music using Hidizs s1 + Zishan Z1 combo and they are sound okay but I need to upgrade it. I don't have any higher impedance headphones so amp power won't be a problem for me. also most of the time the DAC will be connected to my pc as a USB DAC so i don't care about...

    (Topic closed) LQQing for a DAP that will fit my needs..? Under 450.

    Well I made my first purchase of Iems, the Peacock p1s. Got them for 90.00 so figured that would be a good starting point. Not a lot of reviews on them so, blind buy. Now the difficult part because I want a lot in a player and to be honest it may not exist. Now some of this I’m new too so...

    DAC/DAP Recommendation?

    Planning to make one purchase for 2020 that'll last me years :) currently using the M11 with an Anole VX, want a source upgrade Lately, I've been easily swayed by DAP's DAC chips and price-to-performance. Although I know the chip isn't everything in a dap, I keep staring at the double AK4499...

    FiiO M5 Review

    In 2019, daily useability and the notion of a hip modern headphone audio enthusiast has seemingly started a wave to remove the ideas of decades past that all audiophiles looked like Steve Guttenburg (I kid, I love you Steve) or Einstein. It’s simply not true in this decade where tech obsession...
