Also plenty of low tech Chi-fi options like Fiio/Snowsky.

    Maybe I'm the weird one here, but when I look at fiio, and they are essentially smartphones (beefy Exynos or Qualcomm SoCs, running a bloated Android), minus some connectivity apps and a mobile antenna, I'd rather just use a phone, thanks. Most portable music players have this minimalistic appeal of devices that were engineered for just one single purpose and to do it well, and fiio certainly isn't having that vibe.

    Yeah that's fair, I am personally leaning deeper into things like the Echo Mini or soon to be released Echo Nano from their sub brand. I think DAPs are in a weird place, and do wish there was a higher quality iPod-like solution.
