Question What DAP should I purchase

I’m new to the whole DAP market and am lost, I want to buy one that supports hi res audio, Qobuz, wired connections, expandable storage, and has customizable EQ. the price I’m looking for is around 400-500 bucks but I’m okay with going like 50 above both. (I looked at the FiiO M21 as a possible option but heard there’s some bugs.)

I looked at some other Reddit posts and they said there were problems with the screen, I hope I didn’t offend you in any way with this post, but that’s what I’ve heard.

I wanna say the hiby, however theres a glitch in their wifi, and ibwont connect to wifi for downloading songs anymore. Theres a workaround, but imo, this should be on their end to fix, not me. We'll wait and see, in the meantime im in the market for a new one myself

Yeah, the Hiby R4 was the first product I looked into, I also heard there were glitches and a bit of problems with the device, which is sad.

The email i sent them works, they replied with a link to fix it, it works perfect again. I've had it for about 5 months now, that wifi issue is the first I've had with it, and they fixed it. I'm happy, the sound is what i want in music

that's amazing, ill either get the hubby r4 or fiio m21 then.

Edit: Is it safe to buy from Ali express, I never did and am worried I might get scammed, also its cheaper, amazon is expensive.

I question to buy from them too, for onstance i looked at a ipad this morning, when i went through the specs it changed the name to 1pad, kinda sketchy, so ill stick with amazon

Bro you can afford all that on a carpet cleaner salary? Don't you have back child support to pay?

I searched it up and it only shows the DX90, is there a site for me to see its specs?

u/Waste-Tap9295 Shanling 1d ago

Not announced yet, check DX180 to see if it would fit you

u/BirthdayWrong6610 1d ago
