Ok ...
I have to be honest, I know very little about things but we all have to start somewhere.
First .. history. I have an Ipod Gen 3 8 GB that has been my trusted DAP, mainly cause it is small and portable. I am into fitness activities so it worked. Old school .. it is what people
bought 7 years ago.
However .. the time has some to kick things up a notch. I am interested in quality .. something better than the iPod sound and the performance from a 128 kbps MP3 file.
So .. I have no idea, but the first thing I noticed .. headphone amps. I know.. like what are they for ? Like .. never thought I needed one. But I am interested in the concept.
Today .. bought a pair of Atomic Floyd MiniDarts ... I had no idea what to buy. I couldn't even listen to them. So .. they have got to be better than my $20 ear buds I have now.
I have a feeling that they will not be my last pair ..
So I am looking for a new DAP ... and leaning towards a Fiio X3 (there is apparently a new model coming soon .. so I am waiting. I am on the fence between that and the X5)
That is about it for now .. looking forward to learn lots here.
