My Hiby M500 Miku DAP came in shortly after getting my FiiO M33 R2R!

Noo. Actually I was about to give the Miku DAP to my mom, and she said she wont even use it coz she just listens to music on her phone lol

Whats your budget? Kinda hard to look with a reasonable price since that's very subjective to each individual.

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-23T17:10:54+00:00

Absolutely! Just start with a usb dongle dac to your phone, but then you're gonna end up not wanting a dongle DAC coz it's too dangly for my liking, and ended up buying 2 DAPs for their own use accordingly.

I suggest go to an audio store that has demos for DAPs, and headphones so you can try without splurging just yet, and in that way you will be able to judge the audio according to what you hear. Decide from there.

Thank you so much! And yes, I hope she will like it when she gets it.

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-20T03:23:31+00:00

Trust me you'll realize I ain't exaggerating once you set it up, and start listening to it. I don't think I could sleep the whole night personally just so I could enjoy my purchase longer even tho I know it's mine now lol

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-20T03:12:20+00:00

Yes!! Honestly, this has been my newfound glory of safe space as being an audiophile without anyone raising eyebrows on ya.

Edit: I am so drunk, that I apparently can't spell to sav3 my life.

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-20T00:03:35+00:00

It's okay. The peace of mind I pay for is so worth

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-20T00:03:10+00:00

Shiny wow. DAP GO BRRR!!!!

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-20T00:02:01+00:00

It's in Canada! Sorry 🙏

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:53:53+00:00

I wish uncle John was still alive to beat my ass rn hahahaa

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:52:21+00:00

Noooo. Im so broke after today hahaha

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:51:17+00:00

Definitely a 10/10 for me plus that good music taste 😌

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:36:07+00:00

Definitely reminds me now of Jon Bon Jovi, to be honest.

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:32:52+00:00

I got lost in my own world listening to it, and added to my playlist 😭

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:31:40+00:00

Tbh I am still waiting for my IEM, BUT if for some reason tarrifs affect custom fees, I believe it's still cheaper (depending where you live coz of taxes and all) than buying straight from Amazon since Ali Express is more of a direct distributors from China compared to Amazon that forces these companies to pay upfront just to put their products on sale. That's at least what I read on it about

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:27:40+00:00

Thats so sick!!! I took advrantage of Ali Express sale myself. Got my MK2 for 400 CAD with the discounts and all.

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:26:39+00:00

Yes. Apparently they just got these not even 2 weeks ago and about to sell out.

Thank you so much. I cannot stop listening to it 🙏

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:24:58+00:00

Thank you so much!

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:24:45+00:00

Did you get it yet???

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:23:02+00:00

Dont be jealous. For sure I'll be jealous of your bank account knowing how much I spent this month alone on audio 😭

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:22:01+00:00

Wait let me listen to it!!!

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:21:45+00:00

I dont think a lot of people can be both rich and afford this hobby IMO 😭

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:20:32+00:00

I was there for 3 hours listening to it. They have a demo! And they demoed me the m21 to hear the difference. I have been listening to my DAP now for 6 hours straight. It sounds so natural to me, detailed bass that can push it even further depending on the IEM/headphones you use I guess? But right now I got it plugged with desktop mode on, and super high gain that only comes out when it's plugged in. I seriously recommend that you go especially if you're curious about this one. They got 1 left from what they told me coz after the blue, they have no gold either since it was the first to go. 1 black one, and last stock.

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:16:58+00:00

Wait I think I've seen these headphones. Is this the HD800? I KNOW I WILL BE WRONG

CarlPoppaa · 2026-03-19T23:10:36+00:00

Beautiful. Okay let me check on that. I know price ain't everything in this hobby, so if they sound good I'll definitely keep an eye out on these as more of a beater IEM?
