I think DAPs are interesting too, but if you primarily stream music, then a phone really is the best option for portable listening.

In either case, there is supposed to be a battery pack released for the KA17 dongle, so I’d keep my eye on that as well.

On cell phones there are many distractions from social media and instant messaging apps. I don't think it's always advantageous for a time when you just want to listen to music (whether via streaming or local files).

That's true, but my concern with streaming on a DAP is that DAP software doesn't tend to get updated regularly and I can't trust that streaming services will always function the way they're supposed to.

One solution is to use a third party app. like UAPP. I have it installed on HiBy RS6 and use if for playing both local files and QoBuz streaming. which it supports natively. UAPP is solid and updates are timely in my experience.

If you keep track of the times when streaming apps stop supporting a certain version of Android and see which versions of Android are being adopted on current DAPs, you'll notice that your device's battery will fail before you can no longer update an streaming app. Other than that, there is still the UAPP, which receives updates regularly and does not require a very recent version of Android.

Below is the minimum requirement for the top music streaming apps:

Amazon Music - Android 9
Apple Music - Android 6
Deezer - Android 6
Spotify - Android 5
Qobuz - Android 6
Tidal - Android 7
YouTube Music - Android 8

Dear friend,

If everything goes well, it will be available in the end of next month. And we could get more information about that at that time.

Best regards

Will it support other codecs then I presume LDAC and SBC?

Almost 2mm increase in the DD diameter, when compared to FD5. Size matter here folks.

I look forward to the FD15. Yet another MMCX gem.
