Smaller Daps with more than 500mW output at 32ohms?

[treqwe123]

Looking for a DAP I can actually use with one hand (for example, less than 65mm in width) that has decent power output (500mW at 32ohms).

FYI Chat GPT was absolutely, horrendously useless.

The Hiby R4 seems to fit the bill but at 68mm width still a bit too big.

Some of the Sony ones seemed interesting but they don't make it clear what the output is at 32ohms, and I hear the international versions are volume capped on top of that.

I know "smaller" and "more power output" might be an oxymoron but if they can make dongles the size of a thumb that outputs 500mW, I keep thinking there should be some units that fit this description.

HiBy R5 Gen I does over 500mW off balanced, I believe.

Hey you're right, and it's only 61mm width. This seems perfect. Thanks!

You're welcome! It's not the fastest but it has the perfect form factor, in my opinion. And Tidal works despite the old Android OS. Should be about $125 used or so.

Tempotec V6 has 600+mW output on balanced

I think the V6 is as wide as the HiBy R4
