Hello folks, I am looking for a new DAP but one thing I would like is that it starts up reasonably quickly. Currently I have an Aune M2, it starts in about 3 seconds, whilst my Fiio X7 takes about 3 minutes. Things like streaming, Internet etc are not needed, just something that plays music without all the bells and whistles but with a good quality. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Kenneth, good suggestion but I had a Paw 5000 for a while, good device but I want to try something different.

That's the sort of thing I am looking for. I was just looking at the Plenue M2 as a matter of fact.

Is it just me, or DAPs getting a lot more expensive? I think I now understand why I stuck with the Fiio!

If money are no problem, and you don't mind a portable music player without a screen, then I will suggest only the Tera-Player woody 2020 model.

Good shout, tera starts the instant you push a card in

Any other suggestions without the bells and whistles? No streaming, no internet, just playing music.

I have both Paw 5000 mk II and Paw 6000. Both start up super fast.
