I need a DAP that can work as a phone also. 4.4mm output would be a longshot, but does this exist?

I have looked at many DAPs but it is important I can accept call(sim)

To my knowledge it doesn't exist and even if it did exist, it wouldn't be around for long. Phone manufacturers are moving away from headphone jacks in favor of TWS.

Get a DAP and a smart watch that can make and receive phone calls.

I think 3.5mm is ok actually. I dont think 4.4mm will be a reality.

Where will I receive this call. All in a smartwatch?...

maybe it is possible to pair/sync a DAP with a phone, so I can receive calls through the DAP(from phone BT)

Yes. My Apple watch can place and receive calls, send and receive text messages and on a limited basis deliver news and play or control music.

Why do you want to receive calls from your DAP?

If you want to do something like that, then use a BT Dongle like ifi Go Blu. It will be Bluetooth from your smartphone to the Go Blu, then you have an IEM with a microphone cable and you can take calls.

You can also do something similar with the UTWS3 or 5. I think the 5 has ambient sound which is a great feature.

If you want a good Music Player and phone all in one then get one of the LG from V30 onwards. Should still be able to buy a refurb.

You originally said 4.4mm balanced on a phone which I'm sure has never happened.

I think I go with a DAP then :)....no syncing with the phone or what so ever.

Which DAP will you recommend under 2000 dollars?

It must be able to drive ARYA planar

I will let others advise. Only had sub 700 DAPs myself.

LG terminated its phone business.
