I’ve had my Fiio M6 for about 18 months now, and whilst I think it sounds decent enough, and has plenty if useful functions and features, it’s not been a particularly good DAP for me.
Aside from the problems it’s given me, I haven’t taken to its smaller form factor. If I’m out and about, then either my iPad or iPhone play music just fine, and I can’t be bothered with the M6. I do use the M6 at home, so I’m thinking something bigger, and physically easier to use would be more suitable.
I would be looking to spend about £300-400 (ish), or less for something that has similar functionality as the M6 (WiFi, streaming app support (including offline and downloading), Blutooth DAC) but a larger device with a nice screen, and a processor considerably more powerful than in the M6. Superior sound quality would be a bonus, but just a generally better product for mainly home use (but still portable), is what I’m after.
I have read up on some devices from the likes of Astell and Kern, Hiby, iBasso, etc, and whilst my sure there is a product that would suit me perfectly, are there particular models to avoid or some particularly good models to go for?
I do realise there is a lot of information out there, and on this forum alone, but the amount of products available these days is bewildering.
