So I feel like DAP’s have gone full circle

Now they are offering aptX bluetooth and other wireless communications… pretty crazy IMO

Phones got so good but I use an iPhone so no aptX

Is there a DAP with a powerful graphic (like a 31 band?) or parametric EQ? MOST IMPORTANTLY one that doesn’t dramatically change the sound when engaged? Car stereos and home theaters do this fine but I have noticed lots of apps for wireless headphones and some MP3 player change the sound dramatically when you enable or activate the EQ in even a small amount, like 1 tick anywhere lowers the volume dramatically or dramatically changes the sound.

Would also like AAC support

I plan to run Thieaudio Monarchs, Shure SE535’s and Focal Clears from it and maybe something wireless like Sony WF-1000XM5’s or Bathy’s.

    The iPhone has a good AAC implementation, and aptX (non-HD) is comparatively worse. So why not get a Qudelix 5K which gives you parametric EQ, including the possibility to load AutoEQ presets?
