Just recently got this Hifi Walker H2 and so far I like it. Stock UI was trash but Rockbox solved that issue. At first I was skeptical of needing a dap with how good phones are these days but I’m satisfied. This thing sounds so good and is powerful enough to make my 6XX sing. Plus the customization of rockbox really appeals to my tinkering side.
So what do you guys think about DAPs? Do you prefer one to other music solutions or do you not see the appeal?
I use an app that supports a good quality BT / wired portable dac amp. I’m not a fan of DAPs. My phone and a good app have provided many years of quality FLAC source. No need for a static player that I also need to carry around when a tiny BT amp does the heavy lifting. I have a BTR7 that will run most of my cans with good power and clarity.
Same here. Personally not a fan of DAPs but to each his own. Also not a fan of using external dac/amps so I have an LG phone with the Quad DAC (they can drive even my he-x4). Imo, DAPs are unnecessary expenses in an already expensive hobby.
Edit: if you like DAPs, there’s no way I’d criticize you or anything. They’re just not for me.
