I use a DAP for all my music needs because storing my entire music library on a separate device from my phone and not having to use my phone’s battery all the time for all of it is worth it for me. Depending on what you want out of it (Bluetooth, balanced audio outs etc.) what you wanna get will depend, but if it’s just for Bluetooth and having somewhere to plug a 3.5mm jack in basically any will do. I personally use a FiiO M11S, but you probably won’t need that.
JR Smith going the wrong way springs to mind. Like LeBron afaik already had one foot out the door in Cleveland, but the Cavs had all their fight sapped, got swept, LeBron left and the Cavs have basically been in limbo at best since then.
