I really want to get one since 11/11 has good d eals on them, but I’m not sure if I need one.

For those of you who have one, what DAP do you use? Do you think it’s worth it?

I’m not going to buy one for purported claims of better sound quality or whatever; it would mainly be a convenience thing / separating out my phone from vs my music (like a dedicated iPod).

bought a Sony NW-ZX507 when I accidentally fell down the "hI-rEs" rabbithole. I could have/should have just used that money to buy a phone with an SD slot, in the long run I'd have been much happier. The thinking at the time was to have a separate device so I wasn't constantly using my phone, but that rarely happened - it just made my experience more convoluted with 2 devices, the Do Not Disturb function is a much better option for uninterrupted listening.
