I’ve always loved listening to music. Some time ago, though, I noticed that when I play music from my phone, I hear it but don’t listen. A whole album goes by and I can’t recall a single song. It’s the phone constantly demanding attention. A few weeks ago I invested in a DAP and I’m thrilled. I put my phone away, put on my headphones, and truly enjoy the music. The sound quality is amazing, and nothing (not even my habits) distracts me. Phones have given us a lot, but they’ve taken a lot too.
@mczachurski I’ve been tempted to do something similar for ages. What device is that?
@jamie This is FIIO M21 (with Android 13 and Apple Music)
@mczachurski I use the FiiO JM21 and love it for the same reasons you mentioned. You might want to try out PowerAmp as a music player. It feels much more fun and supports sorting by album artist, which FiiO Music can't. It can be bought from their website and installed via APK file, so you don't need to install a store or save store credentials on your FiiO device.
