So my aging ak120 seems to be heading to the junkyard in the sky, can anyone recommend me a reasonably priced replaced. I've tried the Sony zx100 and its just about ok, i also have a pioneer 30r, which is the perfect size, has good functionality, but doesn't sound as good as the old 120.

I want something pocketable, something i can stream tidal with etc...

So whats the word?

SONY NW-ZX300A?

AK70 mkII? should be better

Opus #3

Thanks. Good suggestions.

Does the Opus do streaming? Can I listen to Tidal through it - like I could using something like AK70?

You Have to buy a dap with Android as OS if you want to download music but if you just wanna stream you can also see the others

paw gold sounds extremely good, thick and smooth, if you don't mind the price and crappy system it would be a great choice.

iBasso dx200. You can stream online and download for offline with both Spotify and Tidal.

I was thinking of the DX200 - How's the software on it? portability? It seems a lot of player for the price - has there been any comparisons between it and other high end DAPs.?

It's a newer player, software looks and feels more modern. It was my first high end player, but I use an android phone, so it felt very intuitive. Response isnt as snappy as modern smartphones, but it is fast enough. Boot time is about 20 seconds, which is nice. Even with the case, it will fit snugly in my jean pocket. As far as comparisons, you can check the dx200 thread here on head-fi. It's hundreds of pages long, but you can use the "search in this thread" function to zoom in on other DAPs that it's been compared to.
