I switched to using a dedicated DAP because I haven't been able to get a phone that fits my needs with a headphone jack. am considering getting this, if the kickstarter was active I'd be tempted to get it at the $75 price. There's no way I'd pay over $100 though, there are too many caveats I have with this device considering I already have a DAP that is OK.

Take a look at the fiio echo nano, might be right up your alley. ~50-60€ DAC, 3.5mm audio jack, small form factor, retro look

+1 for Echo Snowsky, great cheap DAP for flac files, and has Bluetooth support if you're in a pinch. Only downside is the slightly crappy UI design.

I've actually had it on my list for a while, but I haven't had the best luck with Fiio products, especially their portable dac/amps so i am a bit leery.

You can get a not too old xperia 5 or 10 from ali for a pretty decent price, probably an x3 compact for a much lower price as well

I actually had bought an Xperia for exactly that reason and they kept sending me a carrier locked phone. After the third return I gave up :(
