Are DAPS worth it? (self.headphones)

DAPS have better internal hardware for audio, and it provides a distraction free listening experience, but is it worth paying a premium for one? Especially when there are more modern solutions out there such as portable Bluetooth DAC/Amps such as the Fiio BTR7 or Qudelix-5k paired with your smartphone. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I've got the Sony NW-A105. Not too expensive. The main thing I like about it, is having it separate from my phone. For distraction reasons, but also because my phone doesn't have expandable storage and the Walkman does.
