The SD card on my Echo Mini was full. I didn’t like the idea of navigating even more music on one device, so instead of a bigger SD card I just got another device. 

This device isn’t perfect, but I can’t think of better alternative for my tastes except maybe an iPod. But those are crazy money to get upgraded to today’s standards (larger storage, lossless support, etc). 

A new device, the Snowsky Echo (not mini) has been announced and also looks gorgeous. But I like the idea of having a few identical devices. I might get a third for meditations, audiobooks (despite the lack of chapter support) and ASMR.

Two music players. One is silver and the other is black. They are both the same model, the Echo Mini.

Do you know where yo find info about the upcoming device? I couldn't find any info other than a random Facebook post not made by fiio

The SEO is rough given its an existing popular product name, just minus a single descriptive term at the end 😅

    I know what you mean about the SEO problem. I don’t know where the info comes from originally. I saw a comment saying that they’re usually teased on Chinese social media and we get rumours based on that. r/snowsky gets teasers. All I have is this picture and internet speculation :)

    Gotcha, thanks!

    I think I'm leaning in the direction of an iPod, but thats more money and more of a project, so we'll see :)

    The iPod has never been surpassed. But if the price puts you off, the Innioasis Y1 looks interesting (although far from a 1:1 replacement). I douby the audio quality is as good, though.

    I had no idea that existed, thanks for the additional option to consider! I'm kinda thinking about an iPod mini since those are also moddable, I think they look cute, and are a fair bit cheaper, but I think I might kinda miss color, higher resolution album art, at least a little bit

    5th gen kinda seems like the mid-teir price wise, but I've heard they're not as stable with rockbox which Id be kinda interested in potentially running. And 6th gen or later seems really pricey
