Zombiekiller5072 Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 So I'd like to hear what people here think about DAPs. Personally I love em simply because I can listen to what I want with whatever headphones I want and literally lay in bed and just enjoy music. But I know some people hate DAPs and if you do, please chime in as to why you don't like them. I want to know.

I think the idea is OK, and some DAPs look very cool, however I always struggle to see the value over using a good app on a phone. The headphones I use in both cases are the same, and I sometimes use an external DAC on the phone if I want, although, the convenience of Bluetooth often wins me over, in which case it does not matter anyway.
stereodave Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 One advantage of some DAPs is the option of digital out. I used an iBasso DX50 feeding a DAC in my system for a number of years. It has now been replaced by a Raspberry Pi streamer, but it I used it for portable audio and for feeding other components, something a phone could not have done digitally.

Well, except that I can connect a DAC via USB to the phone.
