I’m in the market for a DAP

I currently use my iPhone w DFR or iFi Nano BL but I find it annoying because notifications interrupt music and bulk of having other devices connected to my phone. I am hoping to use a DAP for music only and then be able to use phone unhindered.

I am looking for the best current DAP to use w TIDAlL/Spotify offline stored music. I understand that some devices will only alloy storing offline music internally and not to SD card.

Your advice/experience would be appreciated

Thanks

Cayin N5ii
vs
Hiby R6
vs
iBasso DX200
vs
Onkyo DP-X1
vs
Pioneer XDP-300R
vs
AK
vs
Sony
vs
Echobox explorer

I am looking for...
1. sound quality
2. ease of use (preferably google play store vs side loading)
3. reliability
4. price

I am leaning towards the N5ii -- seems like it strikes the best balance between my four requirements

Anyone with experience with any comparisons between any of these different units? I have read @PinkyPowers and @twister^ reviews which were very helpful

Thanks in advance
