Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

”What’s the point of a DAP if a smartphone + mobile DAC/amp is pretty much comparable in sound quality?”

”Oh? Does your smartphone have transport buttons to pause your music or skip to the next track with one click?”

”Actually, yes*.”

iPhone 12 + Earstudio HUD100mk2 + Etymotic EVO + Satechi R2 media remote control*
‘And does your smartphone have the capability to play high-res music without an additional piece of software which is a bit of a kludge…’
‘Uh, no…’
‘And does your smartphone have an expandable local library with microsd cards’
‘Ah no…’
Etc…
Horses for courses, what suits you may not suit others. Any choice is good if it meets your needs - could be a dongle/phone, could be a dap.

Now that I look at that photo again... I sorta want a remote control for my DAP's.

Carry the player in one pocket and the remote in the other, and when I want to skip track, get the remote out and point it at my other pocket. Hell yeah.

A lot of daps using Hiby software allow the use of Hiby link, a phone app that works like a remote control using bluetooth.

I was inspired by the Sony remote for Walkman players and wanted something similar for my listening setup. Tactile playback controls are nice to have.

Wait that's actually what it is? A remote for the dongle thingo? I didn't read the post properly... thought it was some random remote that just happened to be in the shot.

That's sort of awesome. Is it universal?

This particular one is apparently for Mac and iOS devices only, but I’m sure similar gadgets exist for Android as well :)

Like bits of diamond and shavings of silver floating in a black felt pillow. These two were made for each other.

Oops, spoke too soon. Things have been shifted. The KPH40 really does scale, and while the k371 sounded good, it ultimately didn't have the heft for Death-Doom metal. I'll use the k371's for rock music. Aaaand, turns out the Momentum's sound pretty good on the Colorfly. So it all works out.

After a nasty divorce 2 years ago, just like Jennifer & Ben, Mojo 2 refound love for Poly :). Sounds great streaming Roon from my Synology.
