Helo, I am looking for Pure DAP (non Android) similar sound signature with Sony PCM D100. the DAP has to be with PO,LO and MSD/SD Card slot, balance either 2.5 or 4.4 will be advantages - No Spotify No Tidal is ok for me. Budget for USD500 new/second hand


Look forward to see replies

I am not sure. Those share some similarity to me but they are not my cup of tea so I didnt pay much attention when trying out in my colleague's collection.

I have heard good things too about DTR1. I have a QP2R but I want something portable and as a transport that runs off the AC power. So was looking into PCM D100. Many reviews praise it for its great sound. All of it is just a hype? Darn. I don't want to risk 600+USD for just the hype. This hobby is spoilt too much

PCM D100 is a natural sounding, some will like some will dislike the non colored sound

For 800$ then I guess it’s a risk/gamble since there are so many other options in the market. Looking at your collection of daps fromyour signature, which is your fav?
