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?

    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.

      Man if I had an LG phone with Quad DAC I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t need a DAP either. I agree with the pricing though. Most modern DAPs are ridiculously expensive for what they do. But they’re not the only option available. The one I got was only $123

      I had the V20 with quad DAC and it was EXCELLENT for a phone. Sadly that handset died the big die day out of warranty. Have yet to find a handset as good as that one. Every new phone is a downgrade in terms of nearly every feature besides storage and memory and resolution. Agreed on the above, DAPs are not my cuppa but I have nothing against those who prefer them.
