Hey all, looking to get my first proper DAP (outside of ipods in the past). I've got a few on my list so far to consider, but I wanted to share what my thoughts are and get any input. This will be primarily for a set of Fiio FH3
Wants:
WiFi (spotify/soundcloud support would be great - seems like android is my only option there)
Bluetooth - getting something like a btr3 / 5k seems like it'd be perfect for IEM's on the go. Not very reasonable with my phone since it only supports the lowest possible quality (BBkey1)
Desktop amp/dac support from windows
So far I'm considering: HiBy r3 pro saber, 190 shipped right now, does NOT support spotify/soundcloud
Pioneer xdp-100r-k, can be had for ~200 used on ebay but is also a 6 year old unit not sure if battery is replaceable on this
Any other suggestions?
edit: Most of the music I listen to is electronic of some sort. From lo-fi beats to deep drum & bass or electro if that makes any difference here. I know the fh3 are easy to drive, but I also know the low end will always benefit from having more juice there
