What small DAP currently has the best streaming battery life?

Do you need 4.4mm balanced output?
NO: Sony NW-A306 (3.5mm SE/Android 12/113g/smallest Android DAP)
YES: Shanling M3 Ultra (3.5mm SE + 4.4mm BAL/Android 10/199g/faster performance)

It depends on the streaming app, streaming quality, etc., but both should last 10 hours or more on 3.5mm.
According to the article below, the battery life is 13.5 hours for Amazon Music on the A306.

Note S20 Ultra > Qobuz > Sennheiser BTD 600 > Final ZE8000
Makes most wired IEMs seem rather obsolete to me.

Is that dongle better than the built-in bluetooth of S20? I thought that's already a pretty high end phone with good bluetooth hardware.

Doing some listening tests today.

Also doing some testing this weekend. Trying to figure out the best way to keep this new metal earbud snug in my ear lol. My first TGXear set was the Serratus and it is a joy to use. It weighs absolutely nothing. So once you shove it in your ear, it stays put. But this new steel Ripples model I just received is quite heavy in comparison. For the time being I'm finding that putting it over the ears like an IEM is doing the trick.

This combo makes me want to tell the world about it?

Sony WM1A, Vocal Cable and IMR BC 2023................I feel better now.

No adaptive aptX support unfortunately and with the ZE8000, this at least to me does result in an audible difference.
