Lost my shuffle today, what is better option now to replace with

>>58014070
SanDisk sport is decent but no rock box

Please god just use your phone.
They have much better audio quality and are more convenient and practical than that shit, and if you're truly that autistic by a Fiio or something.

Lol phones have the fucking worst DACs fuck off

Bought FiiO M3 last week.
64gb sdxc works. Plays all my meme flac.
24hour playback comfirmed.

I am not autist. But Autistodiophile.

Ruizu x02. Gui is bearable after a firmware update to the firmware of a product with a different name but technically the same (just use google). Also, its cheap as fuck.

It's hard to get it there
>>58014652
M3 or X1 then? i can get any right now.

Hm i found where to buy ruizu x02 straight from China for 18$.

nope, it's been scientifically proven that this is a myth with double-blind studies

Enjoy paying for your $9001 9,000,000 THz 9,000,000-bit bulky placebo player

Clip Zip with Rockbox is great, if you are able to make use of the parametric EQ or adjustable crossfeed.

Otherwise what this guy says is right for the most part. DACs have been a meme for forever. I wouldn't bother unless you were hearing audible distortion like noise.

Consider the XDuoo X2 or XDuoo X3

>clip zip
used mine for about a year and the buttons are already dodgy; also, the screen is comically bad (but that doesn't really matter)

Yeah if you live in 2009.
My fucking LG V10 has better SNR dynamic range and distortion than my Fiio E10K so fuck off. Any decent namebrand phone will have better audio quality than a sub $100 player.

Can agree with you on the buttons.
Still can't be beat as a feature rich Rockbox device though. Are there even any current models which are compatible with it now?

>>58015412
No, rockbox is dying along with the devices that it supports.
Which is a real shame since it's great software.
