Is now a good time to get one? I seldom see any promos on Shopee for the Airpods Max, not sure because of lack of stock or new refresh model incoming..

Not a big difference between the two, is it?

Then I'll better stick to Airpods Pro if that's the case, thank you again for the advice ya

For the DAC, may I know which one did you end up getting? For now, I'm using the FiiO BTR5 (can transmit bit-perfect audio from iPad as per testing) but I believe there are much better options available in the market actually..
