Hi ! I am looking for a dap under 300 usd with sonic qualities given preference. i mostly have low impedance cans. 

My options are 

Fiio X5 first gen - 220 USD.
Lotoo Paw 5000 - 300 USD
Shanling M2 - 240 USD


I'm mostly looking at these. Which one of these would sound the best ?

I currently use a Fiio X1 as a dap !

Anyother players in this range ?

Haven't heard any to be fair but I've been looking at getting a new Dap and all of these were in the runnings, from what I've read the Lotoo Paw 5000 is the most feature rich and seems to have the best sq, only caveat seems to be relatively low power output, that is the only concern for me but with that may not be an issue with your gear. Perhaps post your phones and we can see.

The power really isnt an issue, the most hungry cans i have are the K7xx. Ive been reading conflicting statements though like x5> lotoo, shanling >ak240 (almost) and goes on just need some solid info
