DePonSo it's kinda useless if you know how to manage the battery of your smartphone.
I don't see the plus of a DAP if you have good audio processing on your smartphone, as i said before.
It's like create a false need to buy things that you don't.
KylruYeah, you're right. If you always have your phone around you and battery drain from listening music is not a problem. Then a DAP probably doesn't mean much for you. The only point of having a DAP instead of a phone is .... a DAP is a DAP and not a phone, that's it. :D
Kylruthere shouldn't be any existing phone other than maybe that newer LG one that advertises HiFi audio that can measure up to something designed specifically and only for sound.
A phone is a computer with tons of freq noise from the cpu, the batte4ry and whatever else not even counting the radio taped on.
It just shows where you place value. You can't hear the difference =? Shoot SAVE YOUR LOOT!
Me, I'm plagued with amazing hearing and appreciate a clean, if not slightly cleaner sound source.
This unit isnt the best of examples, but its half a bill.
WILLxLOVEthe zte axon 7/7mini can easily compare with the lg. but a dedicated dap will always have better sound as it has a more powerful dac and a stronger amplifier as well as due to the lack of noise that exists on the smartphone motherboard, similar to how computers work.
