Thanks for the VERY details reply. It's help a lot.
Anyway DAP feel like very bulky, if you bring out on both hand with DAP and Smart phone, btw you might do more with smart phone as well.
Recently I had tested with AK 100II the sound slightly better than iPhone 6s only, but when iPhone 6s plug in with mojo the sound totally was different a lot.
Maybe you can try it out, cause my currently setup with iPhone 6s or Mi Note with Mojo and RHA T20I the sound really impressive very different signatures.
If wanna budget still can consider for Fiio DAC much cheaper to compare with chord mojo
I always bring both: my AK100II on my hand, my Note 5 in my pocket, since my hand palm is big, I can use my Note 5 with 1 hand.
Sound quality wise, it is always a debate between smartphone and DAP, like my case, AK100II vs Note 5, definitely AK100II wins but not edges Note 5 too much, only in tiny details and dynamics.
If choosing smartphone as music player, users should opt for large storage capacity or with support of microSD, inaudible noise when paired with low impedance IEM, better stereo crosstalk (you can check in review of the smartphone). dynamic range etc
Agree with you.. Maybe I was still not finding the right dap to fit with me now.
2-3k should try Cayin N6 also. UI not very user friendly but overall very stable. Supports DSD and can be used as USB DAC. Build in amp is using 13 pieces opm, very powerful.
I have recorded a Youtube review of N5. There is some comparision between N5 and N6.
Just bought my iPod touch today I love iOS and no regret of the thing won't outdated in future, cause no issue for update all the files
