What are Digital Audio Players?

Digital audio players (DAPs) combine a simple concept with exceptional results for audiophiles. On a foundational level, these devices store and play high-resolution music and media files. You might also see them called digital sound players or (redundantly) DAP players.

So, what sets them apart from other music player devices, like smartphones and other, more entry-level portable music players? Digital audio players offer some key advantages for discerning listeners, including:

  • Most DAPs are designed to play an extensive range of audio file formats, making it easier to listen to an existing library of music.
  • With the right setup, DAPs can capably stream audio with very high-quality results as well as deliver unparalleled playback of locally stored audio files.
  • DAPs allow for the playback of high-resolution or “lossless” audio files.
  • The concept behind DAPs is singular. They’re designed to do one thing incredibly well: play high-quality music and media files. Many other music players, like smartphones, have a general-purpose design that sacrifices quality for utility.
  • They can function well in many roles, from serving as portable music players and music streamers (tapping into the streaming libraries of music app services) to their use in home audio systems.

High-end brands, such as SonyAstell&KernCayin, and Shanling, make similarly high-end digital audio players with audiophile users in mind. These DAPs incorporate digital-to-analog converters, built-in headphone amplifiers, and other components that help to support exceptional sound quality.
