Hello everybody
I am planning on replacing my portable setup.
I had Hifiman 801 back in the days and now I am terrified how expensive all daps have become without significant improvements to the sound quality.
I use RU6 multibit dongle now, but a bit annoyed that it constantly drains my phone battery because I am listening to music a lot.
Can you recommend to me something on a budget that sounds SUPERB without costing an arm and a leg?
Looking for a 'value for money' option, I do not need 100% of what possible in portable, I do not need the touch screen, android, Bluetooth and other fancy gimmicks like that.
Just pure sound, preferably neutral (and probably flac m4a ogg opus etc support but I guess most of them read these formats by default nowadays)
I have topping 90 at home and prefer neutral sound, but I also don't mind more joy (less accurate or slight V-shape/slight bass boost) since on portable sources er4sr are pretty boring/dull especially if fit is bad
And because sometimes I listen to 18+ hours per day a 10-20 hours of playback would be nice.
From my superficial knowledge I heard xduoo x20 or hiby 6v3 makes a good DAP?
