what are the best daps for SElaris? i'm looking at n6ii with a01 module, but it's pretty expensive.. what are some of the best options? android needed.
I've owned and used with Solaris: Fiio M9, Sony ZX300, Questyle QP2R, Cayin n6ii/a01. Favorite sound would be the QP2R...I've never heard anything like it. The software and user interface were both nightmares though and a deal breaker overall. My favorite overall is the n6ii.-- it's got a robust and rich sound that adds some weight to the low end and smooths the treble "just so". Least favorite is the ZX300. I didn't mind it without a frame of reference but compared to the n6ii it sounds very compressed, almost veiled. Plus it hisses...and the Wm1A hisses even more than that. I've heard great things about the Ibasso DX160 in terms of sound quality and the Hiby R5 in terms of interface. The Shanling M5s might be another option, though I've never actually owned it.
