Ok, same boat as everyone else. im just fine paying 400-600 if its easily the better option.
Amazon has two I've been looking at - both around same $$ and feature set. Pioneer 300K and a Sony (2018) edt
Dual DAC - I think, Im just riffing here...
bluetooth, at least one goes both ways... ha
Pioneer isn't a locked down version of android so you can download any app within reason, and I think Sony supports Tidal et al......
Both are supposed to pack enough buldge to satisfy your woman... I mean on a week night sort of way, for a mobile device anyway
(what? your headphones crazy... Geez ;)
I even think they can be used as an external dac for both android and iphones as well as your PC or MBP.
Im having a hard time thinking of a reason to chase a equally expensive bluetooth dac amp device that is MISSING the ability to play music.
Someone help my nut case self.
