I have never used a digital audio player but got a bit intrigued to see a local dealer selling DAPs like FIIO and Sony at quite attractive prices. Dont have options of testing them out cause they are doing 100% online sales at the moment.
I listen to my music using my iPhone or MacBook with a topping NX4S DAC+amplifier in the middle. Music sources are TIDAL HiFi and PLEX (lossless FLACs of all my CDs stored on a NAS). I have a HiFiMan Sundara coming in this weekend which will eventually be the primary headphones.
Now I know quality is a bit subjective and to be honest, not sure if I can add anything to the music quality other than a "better" quality DAC with a DAP like FIIO M11. Still checking in with people who have more experience.
