Hello,
Sorry to hijack your thread but I'm in a similar situation. After spending a fair amount of time on the forum I still haven't found what I needed, and so I hope you guys can help me (and OP) out.
I'm looking for a DAP to replace my nexus 5. Many reasons but let's say i'm travelling quite often and i need to save on my battery as much as possible.
I'm looking for a DAP that will play flawlessly flac files up to 24 bits and 192 kHz, but that's fairly standard nowadays. I also need it to last long, with over 10 hours of playtime with display turned off.
At this point I probably would have gone with a FiiO X3ii, but I am also highly interested in having both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the device. Reason is that I have a nice pair of Bluetooth closed headphones for commuting and flights, and being able to get streaming services like qobuz is nice.
Another constraint I have is that I enjoy a lot jazz and classical music plus progressive rock, that I listen primarily with my HE-560. These beasts like a good amp to deliver so a good built in amp is a must.
Am I chasing the impossible? I have high hopes in the FiiO x7 but I think some AK100ii would do the trick.
Much appreciated.
