Congrats, I use a DAP instead so im not stuck in 2005 with a 5lb brick
My DAP takes microsd cards so I have 1tb of storage in there, it weighs like 100g and it doubles as a DAC for my pc
It also has physical buttons that I can press without taking it out of my pocket
Can you recommend it specifically?
Oh sure, im using a FIIO jm21 with a pair of wired IEMs called Salnotes 7hz zero
The DAP (and 1tb microsd) were expensive, especially since the jm21 was just released, but the IEMs were $35 CAD because im listening a lot at work and the headphones are likely to get wrecked.
That said the audio quality is still great
Can also recommend the JM21. I just wish the battery life was better.
Same, definitely a weaker side of the device. I leave bluetooth and wifi off (never turned on either) and I can get a couple days from it that way
