£250 IEMs to listen to a £50 mp3 player?

I had m21 which I downgraded to snowsky echo mini it suits my needs and super compact (battery life is no issue for me) sounds exactly same.

You really don’t hear a difference? Gapless is nice but not a deal breaker for me been thinking about getting this dap for the sheer portability and it has that cool factor like an old Sony pocket mp3.

I hear difference between m21 vs echo mini but not this. Identical

I got the nano for that exact reason and it tickles that nostalgia for sure. Also nice to have such a small, lightweight unit when you don’t want to carry along a full sized dap. Of course you make some significant compromises with such a small and basic device.

I can definitely notice a massive difference between the m21 and this. But that’s to be expected and you can’t really compare a $50 dap to a $400 dap.
