What is DAP?
How is it different from an MP3 player?
In the early 2000s, when MP3 players became a pandemic, and only 10 years later, the music player industry has undergone a remarkable evolution. Today we would like to introduce you to the current state of digital audio players (DAP), including MP3 players!
What is an MP3 player?
As young customers may not know, about 10 years ago, MP3s became a huge success as a compression method. Many cheap textured DAPs were released, and it was so influential that it became a prize for UFO hunters and a must-have for the younger generation.
It’s no longer called an MP3 player
There are many models on the market today that can play WAV, FLAC, and other uncompressed sound sources, as well as “high-resolution sound sources” that have more data than CDs. These music players are called digital audio players or DAPs (DAPs) for short. It is no longer often called an MP3 player.
Changes in the way you listen to music.
What has changed in the last 10 years? I feel like the way I listen to music has changed overwhelmingly.
About 10 years ago, I basically bought a CD, converted it to MP3 on a PC, put music on an MP3 player, and took it with me. I think most of my musical life was like this.
Currently, you can only listen to music on YouTube, listen to Apple Music on your iPhone without buying a CD, or listen to Spotify, AWA, Google Play Music, etc. on your Android device. And the lifestyle changes are remarkable. Many people have switched their smartphones to listen to music instead of MP3 and DAP players.

Of course, there are products with good sound even on smartphones, such as “GRANBEAT” and “Xperia”, which can be said to be smartphones that are particular when it comes to sound. However, DAP is a terminal specialized in music! There are a lot of good things for sound, such as battery capacity, memory capacity, sound quality trends, supported file formats, installed DAC chip performance, and difference in power section of the amplifier.
