650$. I think xplay 6 is the best smartphone but i don't see it on any market on my country.

For all-in-one audio smartphone, I would recommend xplay6 if you can find a merchant who can import stuffs from china.
But if it is too difficult to find, I think finding DAP is much easier. You can visit Xuan Vu Shop in your city. Probably more convenient than carrying a DAC/AMP with USB cable.

Fiio X5 Gen 3 is a good starter. Other recommendation is Opus 1.

Any other smartphone? Xplay series is impossible for me :frowning2:. Opus 1 i don't see. What about fiio x7 mark ii?

Other smartphone, please refer to my google excel table sheet.

Opus 1 is available on Xuan Vu website. It is a great warm sounding DAP with superb deep bass.

Fiio x7ii, I dont enjoy its vocal much. Recommend x5iii.

...only if you use it in balanced mode. honestly, fiio x5 iii doesn't sound better than a cheap shanling m1 when using the single ended jack. balanced output is a completely different story, though.

Yes Absolutely.

Hi,

Im interested to buy a Fiio K1 USB DAC for my on-the-go purposes considering my LG V10 is very poor on battery life. I carried two phones LG V10 and Nexus 6p. Audio on Nexus 6p are not that great so I was hoping that the Fiio K1 could somehow make it a little bit better so it could be the perfect backup for music listening.

However i mostly listens to music through Spotify extreme quality, does the Fiio K1 works with Spotify or only works for stock music player?

Thanks

Hi guys,
I'm getting the q1mk2 later this evening..
Anything to advise?
I'm using my Motorola moto g5 plus (sold off my oneplus 5) as my source, listening mainly to Spotify..
Sennheiser momentum 1.0 on ear as my phones..
Thx in advance
