Hi..these are the few shortlisted used DAPs under my consideration. All of these is priced around the same as a new mid range DAP (ie : DX160, M11) which is under my consideration as well. Since it's quite impossible to find a comparison review of all these DAPs I hope this forum could assist my selection :
AK120ii

2. Wifi & BT available

4. Sound quality neutral-bright but soundstage less than AK240
5. USB DAC function available
6. Pocketable size
AK240
1. Streaming for limited app
2. Wifi & BT available

Opus#1
1. No streaming
2. No wifi & BT
3. Battery replaceable with battery replacement available at Aliexpress.
4. Some reviews said that it's neutral-transparent while some said that it's neutral-warm.
5. Is USB DAC function available?
6. With the price offered and good reviews it gets, it seems like a good choice but with the plastic body, I'm worried if it couldn't last as long as I wanted it to be.
Sony NW-ZX1
Mixed reviews. Not sure if it should be made part of the list.
Sony NW-Zx300
Mixed reviews. Not sure if it should be made part of the list.
Or should I just go for the new DX160? Any feedback is appreciated!
