I was considering this one. Tubes seem really interesting, it has a lot of features and price is fair but after I found out streaming is not an option (unless you connect it to your phone via Bluetooth and use it like a Bluetooth DAC) I changed my mind and got another one. I own couple of digital files or CDs I ripped but mostly listen from Tidal or Spotify. I know, not everyone needs streaming but it's getting more and more present and Apple and Spotify will offer lossless means there is a growing demand so a DAP without streaming is totally OK but seems like deal breaker for most.

shubert_87Astell&Kern SR25. They're normally more expensive than this but I got one from a family member. If it wasn't the case I had my eye on Shanling M3X and Hiby R5 Saber.

shubert_87Seems like there are a few drawbacks to just about every (affordable) option, making it hard to choose.
