Give the Shanling M0 a try. I did why waiting for R3
Yes, you must keep buying - that’s the way the disease works. I got s Fiio X3ii, then an AKjr, then a Cayin N3, then an R6, and waiting for the R3
I got two IEMs within a week during May, the Campfire Audio Comet and the Massdrop x Nuforce EDC3. - both to be used with my R3. At the first listen I thought I would never use the Nuforce, but it has changed. After repeatedly shifting them the other day, I think I have a small preference for the Nuforce. Sure the Comets look better. I want to do a similar comparison with two DAPs
I also like headsets, but I get "the eye" of my wife if I get another set right now I guess
That is the benefit of pocket sized audio!
I have been a bit wild shopping hifi the past couple of years.
I hear you there about being won over by a sound you weren’t too sure about before but given a 2nd or repeated chance they win you over!
As with the wild shopping as I’ve gone bonkers myself.
I understand about the getting the ‘Evil Eye’ & your absolutely right the James Bond Audio is out of sight out of mind.
I do buy Lotto tickets 2x a week so there’s always hope for me & my poor $anity & $ account...
IEM kinda drive me/my ears nuts so I’m all in in over the ear cushy cans.
As I mentioned I’ve been delaying get an excellent DAP so I can get off my iP & do justice to the hp I’ve collected in the past yr or so. [I do have an XDuoo3 but never really warmed to it]
Got a like new pair of Beyerdynamics on ear T50’s staring at me which I couldn’t stand anymore than IEM’s, a pair of AKG K701’s like new staring at me as well not sure why!
So in the past year in order I got the Audioquest Nighthawks, the Denon AH-D7200’s, the Focal Listen Wireless BT, the Focal Elear & I’m awaiting the ORA Graphene Q BT headphones later this summer.
I’m considering another higher end pair of hp possible in the next year or two if I get drunk enough or stupid enough or just plain lose my sanity completely as they are very expensive & can’t really afford them, no I mean I can’t afford them so that shows you the level of stupidity that might take over but I’m likely going to talk myself out of it as I’ll hopefully be getting the new iFi PRO iDSD All In One DAC/Headohone Amp for my hopefully soon to be upgraded & long overdue home audio system/PC system redo.
So I’ll be debating it with myself long & hard with & without my fave craft beer!
That’s really an overbearing directive for me is being able to afford enough craft beer to help keep my sanity & enjoy my music!

Hey, if you win the Lotto, there will be a lot of expensive headsets - but then you should also get a high-end DAP!
My favorite headset is HiFiMann HE400i, When I got them, they destroyed my Beyerdynamic dt880. Got a new set of pads yesterday for the Beyerdynamic in an attempt to revive my interest in them. But when I am home alone, it is my floor stand speakers I will use - a bit out of the forum though
Same, in the living room I have my stereo with two 120 cm floorstanders, amplifier, dac, NAS and Mac Mini to run Roon. Then in the corner of the room, I have my desktop pc, with dac, and Darkvoice tube HPA - that is where I listen to my H400i. I have a 3m balanced cable coming for the H400i so I can use them with the main dac.
