Audiophiles often choose hi-res audio players and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), or devices that combine both, to support high-resolution audio formats and deliver superior sound quality.
Brands like Astell&Kern and FiiO are popular for their excellent build quality, sound performance, and advanced features. These players typically support various audio formats and offer customizable sound settings, allowing audiophiles to tailor their listening experience to their exact preferences.
