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!

I have a btr3k for out and about, and a shanling m3x that I use at bedtime.

What I like about a dap for bedtime is that it is distraction free, so you can't get sucked into doom scrolling before bed.
