    Are you leaving it plugged in to charge while you listen? I think it really depends on how the thing is designed. Safest way is to use it how it was expected to be used normally (in other words off the battery charger while playing) unless the manufacturer says it fine to leave it plugged in while playing (exception being Chord mojo, which told people it was fine to leave it plugged in, but it wasn’t).

    I'm leaving it on DAC mode. It does charge in DAC mode, but I'm not sure what it does when it's fully charged.

    Why would a manufacturer offer USB DAC mode if its bad for the battery?

    Again, it depends on the design. Some manufacturers throw shit into their feature set expecting most people won’t use it that way or will only use it rarely, therefore it’s a non issue if a few people have some batteries die prematurely. If the manufacturer is worth its salt however and designed it properly, it will be designed to be reliable in all modes of operation.

    ZX300 has a battery saver 80% mode. If your DAP does, it's prolly ok. But if it always charges to 100%, not so good for the battery.
