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).

If you are thinking about a DAP, but don't know, if it's worth it and aren't sure you need it, then you don't need it. And after that if you still think about a DAP, then don't go for something expensive, because it's not worth it. Buy a phone (older LG with Quad DAC) and a SD card, or a USB dongle for your phone. If this is not enough, buy something like Shanlings M1S or so under 200/300 USD, that's more than enough. I've bought an Hiby R5 Gen II and it's fine, but could spend that money elswhere:)
