That’s exactly what I’m trying to do. I’m glad that I’ll have a chance to demo the DX340 before I decide what to purchase. I will also get to decide if a newer device, like the 340, actually makes a big difference vs the older SP1000M in my setup.
I don’t buy equipment very often, as evidenced by the fact that I’m still using my circa 2019 SP1000M (and my Chord Qutest from 2018 that I stole from my stereo setup and needs to go back).
I don’t necessarily need a portable DAP; rather, I need a small device to function as a DAC with my Tsu V2 for my desk. But if my chosen device ends up being a DAP, then so be it. I have options.
This is why I’m contemplating and trying to demo first. It really has distilled down to DX340 vs D16 vs awaiting D17 release.
I live in a portable audio desert

so I have to ask questions on here to help with my decision.
