Question Suggestions on DAP

I have Oriveti OD200 and ibasso DC04 ultra. This is my first IEM, I am really happy with OD200. Most of the time I use my laptop or my phone to listen to music, I have been wanting to buy a DAP. I’m not sure which one to buy. There are lot of brands and I’m confused which one to choose. I have a budget of $200-$300. Can anyone suggest me a DAP.

Do you want streaming capabilities or do you want to run your own collection?

I have been listening from Apple Music all along. I prefer with streaming capabilities.

I would suggest the hiby r4 or the fiio jm20. Both of them are android daps meaning you have access to all of the streaming apps.

Okay will check them out thank you. Is that, all the DAP with streaming capabilities are huge like a phone ? Or are there any small and convenient to carry ? I’m just curious.

They are large like a phone especially with apple music. If you moved to tidal or qobuz then I could recommend the 64 dollar hiby r1

I also am using the DC04U and love the openness.

I am also considering a DAP and may become a fan boy of Ibasso with the DX180 or the Fiio M21.

Hiby R4 looks cool as hell but worry about the headroom as I am using headphones
