Hi everybody,
Being new to the subject, never having had the oportunity to try a DAP (never even saw one in a shop), I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
I'd like to have a portable gadget that allowed me a good listening experience. I'd listen to multiple genre but would like the DAP to be tuned for classical. Here's a few questions:
1-What sound signature should I look for having classical music listening in mind? (read about it, seems like neutral is best);
2-Many DAP models are hard to find in europe, I don't know why... Sometimes I find them second-hand. Back in the day you would expect electronics to show signs of wear with time, so should I expect a used modern DAP to also have a degraded performance relative to a new one? How intense or likely would that be?
3-Knowing something about the design trade, I know many products are designed to fit a specific price range for marketing purposes, and its components are chosen accordingly (with cost, not performance in mind). What's the minimum price range where you'll expect a DAP to have been designed for a particular response, then priced, not the other way around?
4-What models would you suggest from the considerations above?
Thank you very much in advance.
