@crabdog Are there any inexpensive daps with  bluetooth support? Both the Benjie S5 and K9 don't have it. Also any reason why you went with K9 over S5?

 

[crabdog]

@tripside basically just because of the color screen on the K9, 1.8 inch vs 1 inch on the S5 and tactile buttons. The screen on the S5 looks too similar to that of the X2 which is dreadful to use.
 
The K9 is a fantastic little player. If only it had dedicated volume buttons it would be the best thing since sliced bread and then some.
 
For bluetooth:
Onn W6

If anyone is looking for both a new smartphone and a good dac/amp, I just got the ZTE Axon 7, and it is every bit as good as any DAP using AKM chips out there. I think it's cleaner than the HTC 10 DAC as well, more neutral. HTC puts emphasis and bass and highs, where the ZTE is flatter.

How powerful is the amp? better than V10 on high gain mode?

  there are reviews about these cables? or is it a standard cable?

i don't know. you usually can find the cables which come with DIY iems, separately. the three i mentioned are MMCX standard and Chinese (there are other "standards"). two came with the iem, and bought the third separately. you can find cables mentions here and there in the threads, but don't know if there is a group of threads dedicated to headphone accessories, like cables.

If I remember it's running $400, wonder if it's cheaper anywhere else. I did see it has band 12, so T-Mobile users should be happy.

This looks clean! Also available as a 3BA + 1DD Hybrid. Reminds me of a prettier Fitear TG334.
