fuck no

Unlocked Android phone with Phonograph

Any player with a microsd card

>>58957052

Just use your phone

>>58957157
i don't have a smartphone

Once in a while you can find those pay-as-you-go carriers pawning off a super cheap Android handset. As long as it has a microSD slot, you can probably get one for as cheap as any dedicated MP3 player. The bonus will be that it's more or less functional for everything else Android can do without a SIM.

htc phones have the best DAC and headphone amps

>>58957278
this sounds interesting, thanks

op here, that wasn't me. i'm not an indian
still tho

ruizu X02 with many microSD cards.

>>58957052
RUIZU X02 for $12
Benjie S5 / K9 / X1 for $20-25

>>58957357
only supports until 64gb

>>58957335
DAC is a digital to analog converter, it turns all the machine language into actual sounds. The better the DAC the better the overall quality.

>>58957335
TLDR of it is that it's the thing that turns your digital signal from your music files into an analog signal, i.e. sound that you can perceive

A shitty DAC can introduce noise and muddy up the signal, among other things. Also Sony phones have much better DACs but you pay out the ass for them and might as well get a dedicated PMP at that point

>>58957327
No problem. Just peeked around for a bit and Targt are doing the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Express for $20 (+tax). Takes up to a 128GB microSD. Other stores can price match if they have a closer location to you.

In the late 1990s it became feasible to make portable, solid-state digital audio players. Most support the patented MP3 codec, but not all. Some support the patent-free audio codecs Ogg Vorbis and FLAC, and may not even support MP3-encoded files at all, precisely to avoid these patents. To call such players “MP3 players” is not only confusing, it also privileges the MP3 that we ought to reject. We suggest the terms “digital audio player,” or simply “audio player” if context permits.

>>58957428
As long as you format the card as FAT32 it will support 128gb

>>58957506
I used the term;
Portable
Media
Player

>>58957543
That didn't work with my 128gb shark, on both the stock firmware or the A02 1.7 firmware

>>58957502
thanks, i love in austria tho

>>58957506
alright, sorry for offending you

>>58957573
That's strange, I've seen a few people say they've got it to work. I guess it depends on the card

>>58957052
I got this combo:

>>58957428
64 and 128gb use the same standard, so it works.

>>58957669
What for? Copying data through the port would be slow as fuck anyway because its a cheap device. Just take out the SD card.

>>58957675
don't want one

>>58957697
expecting anything less than the best

>better the DAC the better the overall quality.
In practice, the DAC isn't the main issue. It's not something that can be readily isolated, definitely not in typical use.
The usual audio deficiencies with these portables can be generally sourced back to amplifier issues, limited current or voltage, output impedance nonsense and the like.

>>58957052
5th gen iPod Classic with SSD

>>58957700
Stay in the last decade then, asshole!

>>58957750
i will. thank you very much

>>58957750
Why're you such a twat?

>>58957724
fuck no

>>58957773
Sorry it's my time of the month.

>>58957777
Why turn down the GOAT PMP?

>>58957777

quads confirm

also: I can hear the first bird of this year singing outside

>>58957773
I'm not!
I just hate the guys that carry a phone, a mp3 player, a laptop, a fucking USB thumb drive, a camera in their back pack when they could carry a light tablet with a keyboard and sim+ bluetooth that is 1/10 the weight or less of all that junk.
Fucking moronic mules.

>>58957862
You're a twat.

>>58957862
kek

>>58957868
truly

>>58957862
you seem like the kind of dude who'd know how to fake an orgasm

>>58957724
if it weren't for iTunes, I'd be really tempted to try this. I really liked the click wheel iPods

>>58957157
Most people need it for phone stuff, killing battery for music seems silly when you need it for real stuff.

>>58957977
>killing battery for music
What kind of shitty phone do you have?

>>58957976
You don't need iTunes. You can use third party programs to sync with the stock firmware or install Rockbox and just drag and drop your music to it like pretty much every other PMP

>>58958080
oh god I might have to try it now.

think i'm going with the RUIZU X02
thank you all, guys

>>58957713
cool I guess, I did forget to mention the AMP

>>58957675
>buy one
Don't have the money
>why?
Don't have a job
>why?
Still studying
>why?
I don't know, that's what you're supposed to do, right?

>>58957570
"Media" is ambiguous. It can also be video.

>>58958855
what are studying ?
and how much is the student debt?

>>58958973
Comp. Sci
No debt at all, but the level of studying is really shitty; you know, just 3rd world things.

>>58959019
Hello Pajeet!

this thread is gold

>>58959136
I'm not indian yo.

1st gen Moto E has one of the best DACs available, no one knows why Motorola did this but its true
They should be pretty cheap by now

>>58957690
looks neat as fuck man.

>>58957977
>still thinks music playback kills battery life
what decade is this?

>>58957488
No anon, LG makes the best DAC's followed closely by LG. Sony phones haven't had a good DAC since the xperia z3

I've been looking for one as well and one problem that I'm running into is that the cheaper players seem to be unable to remember your spot in audiobooks.
Is this an unreasonable feature to expect on a budget?

>>58961192

Those nobrand chink players suck. See if you can find a Philips Gogear, it definitely starts playing from where you stopped, I can confirm.
