Can anyone recommend what I should be checking out as a newbie who wants to be able to play off Spotify? (So either Bluetooth to my phone or sideloading the app - I haven't bothered keeping an mp3 library in years) ideally under $150. I have a Pixel 2XL so I have to use a dongle for my iems anyway (currently using the one that came with) not sure if the money will be worth it?
I currently only have the KZ ZSN which I'm pretty happy with but I'm hoping to upgrade to something like the moondrop starfield or audiosense t300 or something like that (ie. Under $200) at some point this year (the goal is relatively neutral and quite detailed without losing too much on the high or low end). Possibly sooner I might grab a set of cheap tws, we'll see!

I did a lot more reading and comparing and reading reviews and after a lot of thought, I've ordered the Hiby W3. Seems like the sound should be an upgrade to the Google usb-c to 3.5mm dongle, and I like the idea of having the option of my phone being detached from my body, while still being able to use streaming services (like many others, Spotify's recommendations hold me captive, though I know that their max quality is not the highest out there. Not sure my setup is quality enough to really even let me hear the difference, so I'm sure it's fine). I'm really looking forward to receiving it!!
Hi all, I'm looking for a DAP for under $70, I'm looking at Fiio M3K and JWD JWM 115, both have decent reviews here but JWM 115 have more functions and large touch screen, don't know about the sound quality. there's only single review of 115 here and only single video on youtube which is in some other language. a little help here would be great.
I'm also gonna buy KZ ZSX next month. I listen my music on my laptop with realtek audio which sound good but can't move all around.
I really like the JWD JWM 115, I wrote the review and I think its sound is very good, at 100$ DAPS. On the contrary it has the battery life, no line output and the power is not very high, but more than enough for IEMS and Earbuds.
But I can't compare it with the Fiio M3K, because I don't have it, nor have I been able to test it.
I can only venture to say that the Fiio M3K uses a DAC AK4376A. The DAP that has a similar DAC that I own is the Tempotec Variations V1-A, which uses the DAC/AMP AKM4377ECB.
Both the JWD JWM 115, and the Tempotec V1-A, are good DAPS, but I'm leaning towards the clarity and bigger scene, that the JWM 115 offers.
That's the best I can do for you.
Can anyone recommend a replacement for Sansa Clip with bluetooth? By replacement I mean similar in size/weight and price.
I wanted to get SanDisk Clip Sport Plus initially but after reading quite a few disappointing reviews and also due to the fact that the sound quality is not there any more apparently I am not sure now. Have been eyeing some of the clip style Chinese players on Amazon (AGPTEK B07S and A26 or similar models from RUIZU etc) but there is virtually no information about them at all (apart from some odd unboxing videos) product descriptions and specs seem to be copied over for all the MP3 players and the reviews are pretty much 50/50 so not very helpful.

I did mention though that I would like to get a replacement similar in price. Which means roughy up to $40 / £30. Yes, that's an obvious recommendation if the budget is a bit bigger. I thought about Sahnling M0 or Fiio M5 initially, leaning towards M5 - I prefer buttons on M5 and the fact the clip is included but more power on M0 is definitely a plus. I concluded that they are not robust enough to be abused during sport activities. Even though my Sansa was plastic it took abuse quite well and I didn't mind it too much when my first Sansa was drove over by a 12-wheeler after I accidentally dropped it on the road. Plus I usually don't use very high quality phones when exercising so the Sansa sound quality was good enough for me (not with the stock earphones of course).
I am thinking about giving this AGPTEK A26TB a go: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NP6997C Apparently the bluetooth has been upgraded on this one to 4.0 (vs vanilla A26), has good battery life and supports folder view. The rest is a mystery of course. It's £19 at the moment and because it's from Amazon I will have no problems replacing it in case something goes wrong. Also, I should be able to return it if the user interface is non usable or there are some other issues.
