Hello fellow audio connoisseurs.
I'm just starting out with high quality audio gear and purchased Moondrop Aria Snow Edition (still shipping).
So the next step would be an audio source, so I'm looking to purchase DAP or a USB DAC or even a desktop DAC.
After reading reviews and forums for weeks I still can't decide.
Currently I own:
OR
Get a dongle (BTR 5) and a desktop DAC as 2 separate devices.
I do listen to music 60% at home and 40% outside so I want a portable device, though the size/2nd device doesn't bother me.
Most of my music comes from Spotify (waiting on the Hi-Fi option) and home server (plex) with CD rips of the albums I own physically.
The only argument against a dongle for a phone is the battery usage.
I'm happy to hear your opinion and suggestions and if you know any other thread with same question, please do let me know.
Thanks !
