Big $$ on DAPs is something I'd prefer to avoid, especially if quality options like this exist.
A small affordable DAP used as media storage and connected to a DAC/amp device is a very appealing alternative to large expensive DAPs considering cost, of course as long as you're fine with using two or three products stacked

.. also: you can still use the X10T in the car or with other audio devices (BT speaker, wireless headphones) via Bluetooth.

That's a fair point

The Xduoo X10t ii with say the L&P W2 would be a highly capable offline system....Thank you for reminding me this device exists! I am evolving my daily routine, and now, such a device is slowly starting to make sense for me. Hopefully, they keep developing this, as the current, I believe, max TF card support of only 256GB is kind of a bummer especially.
In any event, I have some homework to do to determine what kind of portable stacked system based on this device is capable of. Big $$ on DAPs is something I'd prefer to avoid, especially if quality options like this exist.

Stacked, my dreams. I mean, each to their own usage, good DAPs are expensive, but if you don't mind stacking them to make a better cost to performance ratio at the loss of portability, iFi has an appealing line. @feverfive

Really am looking at something more like an iFi dac, sized like a large pencil case can give the manufacturer more space to work with to make the sound better at the same price but smaller price.The Xduoo X10t ii with say the L&P W2 would be a highly capable offline system....

Fair point - though the hip-dac also includes a battery and i guess there is still a drive to go towards a dongle. But maybe someone will embrace a slightly bigger size and push the boundary a bit.Really am looking at something more like an iFi dac, sized like a large pencil case can give the manufacturer more space to work with to make the sound better at the same price but smaller price.

Thanks. We're really happy how i.e. our X-range turned out and what it does upon stacking.

I think the iDSD is more of my size, since I need to beat or stand on the same level is 220MAX. And I think the nano iDSD also has batteries? I will just bring an external one if it doesn't lol.Thanks. We're really happy how i.e. our X-range turned out and what it does upon stacking.
This is the specific setup that had crossed my mind. Assuming it exceeds sound quality threshold (meaning: sounds at least as good as a mid-priced DAP), that combo is relatively very cost-effective.The Xduoo X10t ii with say the L&P W2 would be a highly capable offline system....
I need to give it some more thought. I am simply loathe to paying anywhere near flagship DAP levels for battery-powered audio devices. The W2, of course, being bus-powered, could also be swapped into use with my laptop when I work from home; something like the Xduoo X10t could be readily available for me to quickly use as a portable digital transport w/ the W2 when I'd need/want to move around.
I think a plan is starting to come together for me, hahahaha.

I'm ok with battery powered devices - the M11 does a decent job of driving my Z1Rs for instance. But yes, dongles means you do save money due to versatility - if it sounds as good as say a Hiby R6 2020. Unfortunately I do not think it'll sound as good as the M8, DX300 etc - though I'm just waiting for people to sell get bored and move on to the newest toy and grab a flagship DAP then, lol.This is the specific setup that had crossed my mind.
