New Head-Fier
Hello all.
I want to buy a new portable dac/amp. I have an iPod touch version 6 for my car. I have an old apple click wheel that works hooked up to an amp, cant rember the name. The click wheel is so old its blocked. So, i still use it but cant add music to it. I cant believe it still runs. Last year I bought a Sony NW A55. It is too small and i cant read the screen. The library is NOT to my liking.
Now, i used Beyerdynamics dt990 edition. Perfect my home listening. All my in ear headphones are inexpensive.
I am not stateside and have limited access to all brands. For example, HIBY isnt avial at all here. Also, I have to buy all online, due to not one store selling anything nice.
In short:
I dont have quality sound requirements.
I need power for volume, I am getting old.
I need a big screen, still getting old
I need memory on board, and or TB card insert possibilities
Android is preferred
Wifi and bluetooth, as well
I dont want a dongle for my phone. Separation is needed. Respect the disconnect.
i can could spend around 1k. But dont think it’s necessary. The charts ive seen have steered me to the Shanling M7, Ibasso dx240 and maybe a Fiio m11 ess. However, I am flying blind.
An important note: I dont need streaming apps. So, any advice could include a great player with a solid amp and crappy streaming.
Anyone able to give some points/advice?
Thanks
