I wonder how good those DAC adapters are for cell phones (that you connect earphones to)?

A western company would probably rather just create one of those, than a standalone dap.

Indeed, Chord Mojo is such a device actually designed, engineered, and manufactured in UK. And it is quite excellent

Probably because the eastern countries have a bit more experience making phones, its easier for manufactures in the east to gather parts and software for daps.

Yeah, but a little pricey. My Ziku HD X10 was $60 Canadian. Not everyone needs the best dap in the world.

Yeah but it's not a DAP so I was off topic Anyway, it's good to have options and the Mojo is really good for what it is. If it breaks there are people willing and able to fix it as opposed to disposable phone-style hardware

It's $500 in Canadian and one person found their iPhone 6S better in sound. I'm not really interested in carrying around a $500 dap.

More ppl take public transit in Asia vs. driving culture here in NA.

Yup that's very true. I'm from Malaysia and most of the time I listen only when in in commute on public transport. Try to go on a holiday to China and you will know better.
