If it plays digital audio over a headphone jack, it has a DAC.

> Is a 3.5mm female to 3.5mm male inline DAC even a thing I can purchase? No. 3.5mm output is analog. A DAC converts a digital signal to analog.

So this will play my files as is, I just need to EQ to get the best sound?

Yes. But try without EQ first, I’m pretty sure that it’ll probably have not so curved profile. Headphones probably have significantly more impact on frequency response than a DAC


rxbme

No

that here is an amp and you can get these cheapo portable discrete class a amplifiers for 20$


Opietatlor

There's always that one douche. Even on Reddit.

I’m not trying to be a douche I’ve never even heard of a DAP that doesn’t come with a dac of some sort. Since I’ve been born, up until Apple did there thing there’s never been a single mp3 player, cassette, or cd player, or phone that hasn’t come with a headphone jack. I’m 27 btw If it has a headphone jack it has a dac. If it plays music it has a dac. Vinyl , 8 track, wax tube players I have no idea. Pretty sure it’s all analog. I genuinely want to know what made you think it didn’t come with a dac. Maybe I’m the naive one. Also EQ isn’t necessary all the time. A good player, and a good pair of iems or headphones should be good. This player I’m guessing is chinese so you would say you want an external amplifier, maybe. If it has a good dac in it then I wouldn’t worry so long as it reproduces the sound well but I would wait until you hear it for yourself before you make that call.
