Hello everyone, I'm looking for a DAP under $700 to pair with my JH Angies. Seeing as how the Angies are pretty warm IEMs, I'd want a DAP with a more neutral/analytical sound signature to really extract the details out of my music. Other than neutrality, it would also be great if the DAP had Wifi capability. So far, I've narrowed my search down to the following:

-Opus #1
-AK70 (I find their lineup very confusing as they have so many products, is there a better model I should be looking at in this price range?)
-Cayin i5
-Questyle QP1R
-Onkyo DP-X1A

I've excluded the FiiO products because I've read that they are generally the warmest sound DAPs. I'm sure I've missed some lesser known gems, so please let me know if you have any better suggestions. Thanks so much for the help :)

edit: I don't mind buying used either

Hi ,

They have brought out a newer model of the AK 70 more powerful with two Dacs inside instead of one , the new model is about £700 at the last show in London the old AK 70 was selling for £400 £100 off, if you hunt around you might get it cheaper. I have the AK 70 and the Questyle QP1R the Questyle is a fantastic DAP, at one time in the UK it was £900.

Cheers

Tony
