Hi,
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I am trying to find a new DAP for my wife.
I currently have a HifiMan HM801 and use it with Ultrasone Signature Pro headphones (as I don't get on with IEMs and needed closed back/sound insulation for use commuting on the tube).
Original plan had been for her to get an HM801 as well, but they are obviously discontinued.
She's most interested in sound quality, and will put up with a clunky user interface if necessary.
She has a set of Custom IEMs - JH Audio JH 16 Pros.
She wants a one box solution - not interested in carrying around additional amps etc..
DAP needs to be currently available (so not HifiMan 901)
All our music is ripped from CD as FLAC (which discounts the Tera Player)
Firstly, looking around, are there any DAPs we should consider in addition to:
iBasso DX100
iRiver AK100
Colorfly C4 Pro
HiFiMan 602
The next question is that as it looks like it's going to be next to impossible to audition these (we live in London, UK), what are your impressions/suggestions as to which is likely to be the best with the JH16s?
And finally, any recommendations on the best place to buy them?
Many thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Conrad.
