Just picked up FiiO JM21 for High Resolution playback, in an effort to get off my phone and provide a portable option when away from connectivity.
Things that impressed me initially: SD card, 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs, powerful outputs and line-out. Android 13, smaller than cellphone.

I wish I was using nicer headphones, but I've found Grado sr80's to work very well.
Anyone else rocking a newer DAP?

I'm still using my old Fiio X5 gen II. Been using it for about 11 years, but need to upgrade. I planning on getting another Fiio my X5 has been solid.

I've a Hiby R1 I use only at work or when commuting with a bunch of different IEM's. Wanted something standalone for focused listening and not have the distractions of my phone.
Thought about an Android DAP though since my library is entirely on Plexamp but since it doesn't have 5G/cell service it'd be redundant as I do most of my home listening at my desktop with good Beyerdynamics. When I do want Plexamp on my phone I have a DAC for that.

fiio m17 with final d8000 headphones.
My preferred method of listening to concert tapes. Brings me right back to the show.
I always loved listening to tapes with headphones on. First on Walkman, than later on discmans and now the dap.
