The Rise of the HD Music Player for Audiophile's

Why use a digital audio player in 2019?

Following the rise in popularity of the hi-res audio player (DAP) in the past few years, audiophiles have a lot of options and it's getting kind of hard keeping up with all the new devices hitting the market.

Lots of you want to know who has the best HD Music Player. Many of these Audiophile players have caught our eye and the range of features you can now get in a portable package is mind-boggling. Plus if you are going to be using some of the best headphones in the world then you don't want to bottleneck the sound with a bad DAP.

With ever more competitive pricing, this makes choosing the right one pretty darn complicated.

We wanted to make things a little bit simpler so we created this top 10 list of the best hi-res players we could find. Everything we have listed here has been tested by us and if there is not already a full review up there will be one live on the site soon.

Update: Lots of people have been asking, so I will tell you, that this is the DAP I am currently using on a Day to day basis (Updated May 2019), I am not saying it is the perfect model for everyone but it is for me right now and it sounds incredible. I have a lot of other units that i also use for testing but that is the one which has seen the most playtime over the past few months . On the go when traveling or commuting, I use a lot of different players but my favorite, right now, is the Shanling M0 definitely worth considering if you are looking for something small. Of course, it goes without saying that what is right for me might not fit for your needs. The truth is I could happily listen to any of these players listed below all day, every day.
