I want have a budget about $200, and there is just too many DAP's to choose from.

Here is what what I am looking for:

At least 50 mws per channel @ 32 Ohms

Touch or non- touch

Expandable storage

Balanced does not matter

Not Android


These are the things that I am looking for,
Thanks

Shanling m2s is priced very nicely at musicteck right now. It’s a beautiful player.

I was looking at that one, and so far it looks pretty suting. I like that has quite a powerful amp section. How does it compare to the Cayin N3?

The m0 is just too small honestly. I may try a few players, but I am not sure. Going through buying then returning players is a bit a a process in the US.

I read the same thing, the sound quality is fairly great, but the N3 interface is a bit clunky, especially with not having backlit buttons.

Seems like I may be going towards a Shanling, in particular the M2s. A good size, powerful, and nice screen.

If you have balanced cables and can stretch the budget a bit, Hiby R3 is excellent. They might still have their BF discount going on.

I do not have balanced, and they are not longer doing the discount, it went back from $150 to $230.
