Peder????
I've talked to a guy who previously had Chord Mojo,he says this IBasso DAP is much,much better.
According to various tests,it is almost as good as Sony's best DAP,..and costs "only" £900:-.
In addition,there are four different amplifier modules that you can upgrade to.
It is not sold in Sweden,so because of that,the question of whether someone here has listened,has experience with this IBazzo.
I think it would be interesting to try this,but you do not know if you becomes disappointed.
◾I have never used a DAP,..but on this IBasso you can stream Tidal,Spotify and even see Youtube-clip.
Can you do it on Sony's and Astell Kern too.?

I have no experience of iBasso, but some of the Sony players run a version of Android, and can therefore run apps from the Google Playstore, including Tidal and many others. My NW-ZX2 can do this, but the more recent top level models are optimised for playback from local storage, so do not run Android.
IBasso DX200 with Amp2 is very good if a bit slow to load. The river UK will ship to Sweden. The only real way to see if it for you is to try it, I think you will still prefer your NW-WM1Z. But if you want to stream Tidal, Spotify and watch a Youtube-clip you would be better with a phone and a dedicated DAC/amp. The EarStudio ES100 is somewhat of a bargin if you wan to to go wire free, supporting LDAC and Aptex HD with enough power to drive most IEMs and many full size phones.
If i was spending that sort of money Peder, i'd take the A&K Kann or a used Sony ZX2. As Chris says, the ZX2 is a pretty versatile player and if you've got sensitive 'phones then it's a little gem. I wasn't very impressed with the Mojo - even driven from my Melco it lagged behind the ZX2.
