    Life-span of Android operating systems?

    Hi everyone, I've been thinking of getting either the Hiby R5 gen2, or the R6 2020 version. The conflict I have is: I'd like a device I could freely use for at least 5 years, without becoming unusable for lack of updates and app support for their respective Android systems. Is this something...

    Pro Micro SD Specs...Worth it?

    Does anyone know whether the class / speed of a Micro SD card has any impact / performance when in use with a DAP? I've previously used the Sandisk Extreme's. I'm looking to get a 1TB card but don't know if the price difference is worth it compared to some of the non-pro cards etc. I'm assuming...

    Seeking lower-end DAP Recommendation

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a DAP. I plan to use it in my car to listen to lectures (mostly), but also music. I'm not an audiophile, so I'd imagine that any of the DAPs out there today would have sufficient audio quality. My files are MP3/WMA/FLAC. I require the the DAP have the...

    Analytical DAPs (question)

    What are some of the most analytical sounding DAPs you’ve heared or know of? I’m looking for a hard, tight, cold, exact, snappy sounding DAP. (As opposed to a warm, open, soft sounding player).

    Looking for a DAP with good bluetooth and streaming capabilities

    I currently have a Cayin N3Pro dap. I like the sound but it is a closed os so you cannot add streaming apps and the bluetooth range leaves a lot to be desired. As soon as a walk a few feet away from the dap the bluetooth connection starts having problems. This does not happen when I connect the...

    Astell&Kern SR25 MKII or Fiio M11 PLUS LTD

    Android DAP

    Can anyone recommend an Android DAP? I do not care about analogue output as it would be connected to an ifi iDSD Neo. I don't care about memory as it would mostly be used for streaming. It must be able to run the LG ThinQ app, hence the need for Android.

    WTB a DAP without file or database limit for 100,000+ track collection

It can be tricky to keep them all nicely and safely depends on...
