Why buy a high-end digital audio player?
For many, their iPhones or Android phones are ample for providing digital audio playback on the move – but if you want the very best quality, you should really consider a standalone player.
Not only are they more compatible with Hi-Res Audio filetypes at higher bitrates, they come with wired headphone connectivity and DACs (digital analogue converters) to ensure nothing is lost in translation.
Alternatively, consider a portable or desktop DAC and amp, as these will enhance the audio quality coming from your device to your over-ear headphones or in-ear monitors – and the different in performance can be astonishing.
It's also worth upgrading your headphones too, of course, to make sure you get the most from your new player or DAC.
