Sorry, i thought you were sarcastic. A good DAC/AMP with your phone is gonna be better than most DAPs. But not in the $15 price range. More of in the $200-500 range.
“Gonna be better” doesn’t mean anything when they are not discernable qualities. Not even worth arguing about whether one is or not, it is throwing money away.
And yes a USB-C to 3.5 mm with a half-decent DAC in it, which you can get for $15, will sound just as good unless you are in a perfectly silent room with electrostatics or something. At which point you don’t want or need something portable.
You forgot the /s
Mods, I’m begging you. Fuckin’ give me the signal. Set me loose on this fuckin’ goober. He’s fucking pwning our asses in debate with Redditisms.
