Are DAPS worth it? (lemmy.world)

DAPS have better internal hardware for audio, and it provides a distraction free listening experience, but is it worth paying a premium for one? Especially when there are more modern solutions out there such as portable Bluetooth DAC/Amps such as the Fiio BTR7 or Qudelix-5k paired with your smartphone. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

That's really up to you. Some people like having to not use their phone, so there's nothing disturbing their listening experience. Or having to worry about battery life.

I admit, for me, I really like the idea of having dedicated controls, and a volume wheel. It's a small thing, but I realise I prefer controlling volume via a wheel.
