New Head-Fier
hey, so I thought i wanted a dap but after reading a lot I heard a lot of people saying that its way too overly priced for basically only good dac amp chips and battery life. im still not sure what i want but i know i want a portable source.
the reason im attracted to daps is because its a nice all in one device that i have to admit, looks very good.
currently thinking maybe i can buy a cheap phone like the lg v series but I dont know which model to get, v30 and 40 seem the most popular, while v60 seems to have the best battery life
looking here for recommendations about anything else. I heard about a few phones from sony (xperia) but theyre quite expensive, asus too (rog or zen) they have great battery life and support "hi res" but they dont really have an sd slot
Im not going to stream on this phone, my goal is to own all my music, i can have spotify on my main phone. so its going to be a fully offline phone
Im looking for a phone that has these things:
- very good battery life like a dap, minimum 5 hours of continuous flacc 16/44.1 playback
- micro sd card slot at least one, multiple would be amazing
- not a huge device, i like compact things
- a good dac or amp chip is nice but i am open to buying a dongle dac
- can play audio to an external dac via usb c
also Im open to diy, so if you know any way to buy stuff like the akm dac chips seperately and other parts and build a small device (kind of like pi, but portable and can run actuall android), maybe if its cheaper
any reccomendations for anything are appreciated.
thanks!
