Currently I just use my cell phone and a “dongle dac” Can someone school me on some of the pros and cons to having an all in one unit such as the Fiio m15 or DX300 vs something that receives a Bluetooth signal from, say, a cell phone?
common sense tells me that getting a tidal stream from WiFi, then beaming it over to a Bluetooth receiver amp would not be good sound quality as receiving the signal to the same unit as the dac/amp (m15), but my experience with this tech is like 8 years ago so maybe something has changed since?
spending a bunch of money on the electronics involved for a device that has an operating system and a nice screen, that won’t have the life span as a piece of hardware (receiver, dac, amp) doesn’t sit well with me. I already buy a new cell phone every 3 years..
If this is already a warship up topic, please link me to where this is all covered because I’m still a noob with a lot of this gear BUT I absolutely love listening to music while being able to walk around freely.
