Most people don't consider a dedicated audio player as a worthwhile investment with the prevalence of smart phones, but for those that do, here are some features that matter to me. This has twin SABRE DACs (similar to the LG V20 and V30), and a built in amplifier to drive more demanding headphones. (Reviews indicate this should adequately handle something like a Massdrop 6xx.) It uses two different clocks to allow jitter free playback for both 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz base multiplier encodings. It's also got 2x micro SD card slots, and dual outputs (3.5mm unbalanced and 2.5mm balanced). Finally, it supports Wifi for a handful of streaming services - something not commonly found in a DAP at this price point.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

I have the 300r and it's Android so I just downloaded the Spotify app. I'm on the train listening to Pandora with the Noble K10 and it's great. Using the iPhone as a hotspot. When I'm home I plug it into my Woo WA8 and use the focal elex headphones... really amazing sound. Hope that helps. I think the 30r is a newer version of the 300r but you can check

For the last great smartphone with removable battery and quad dacs, you can't beat it the LG V20 PERIOD. But an audiophile will appreciate these dedicated monster amplifiers for headphones, we're just a priveleged few.

Does this plays DSD natively or down scales it? Thanks.

Edit: as per manufacturer site, it doesn't play DSD natively. It supports DSD decoding.

I believe the 300 is the slightly larger version that runs Android, the 30 is the slightly smaller version that runs a native OS

I did a quick bit of research and it appears that this player does not have "Full Android" like the 300r.. from an amazon review by "Jason V."

This works well enough for me, since 85% of my listening is local music and Tidal is only a supplement, but if you want an ideal Tidal experience you should pick up Pioneer's more expensive XDP-300R that has full Android. Those support Tidal offline playback and have more stable wifi.

This is also my impression - no full Android on the 30R.
