I have been looking for a DAP and looking at Linsoul I really want to stay below $500
I eventually narrowed the search down to 3 - The IBasso DX170, Fiio M11S or the Shanling M3 ultra.
The iBasso DX170 was excluded later due to negative reviews about operating system freeze up. Apart from having analysis paralysis I wonder whether or not these Android devices will be bricks in a few years with the limited updates for Android and ultimately the app support.
Another thing is I don't think you can store Tidal offline content on the MicroSD card and this is limited to the device ROM, only your own ripped content can be stored on the MicroSD?
