I use my phone for streaming 100% nowadays, but I cannot deny that the Cowon iAudio D2 I used from 2006 to 2013 was hella comfy. It was a constant companion for me.
Maybe I should consider going to a PMP again.
Are there any with good battery life (min 10h), 2x (or higher) playback speed for podcasts, Bluetooth headset capabilities and some way of wireless syncing files from Linux and Windows.

Also, good on-the-fly playlist editing functions and resuming files from where you last played it.

Looking for one with:
>high build quality
>good screen
>small size

Not an audiophile and just using earbuds.

>high build quality

I was considering the Shanling M2X but watching youtube videos, it took a long time to load album art when you scrolled through.
I almost feel like my best option would just be a tiny android phone without a sim card, but they don't really make that.

Budget:
>$400
Looking for:
>Touchscreen
>No lag when scrolling / loading album art
>Not smartphone sized

The hiby r6 would be a winner but jesus that fucking price. I need to find other decent android-based pmp's

Hey that's mine! Won't recommend the Riuzu X02 because it has the worst interface I've ever used. Even if it was $1 I wouldn't recommend it. I wish it could get Rockboxed because I really do like its shape and size.

Whats your recommendations?

Any decent ones that run off of AA or AAA batteries?

no

Anything that supports Rockbox. But I haven't tried any of the others chink PMPs. For now I'm using my S9+ which has a lot more power than the cheap players.

Would like to add that I can actually power something like Fostex T50RPs with my phone and A3 amp with no problems.

Is it possible to get a good quality PMP that also has DAB radio and not just FM? I think that would be the nail in the coffin for me to not use my phone as I like to listen to BBC Radio 6 sometimes instead of my own music.
From searching i've found a few but they seem fairly cheap and from the reviews have software issues amongst other things

I love this little mofo, the only complain is that for some reason battery drains faster using the headphone jack than connecting things via BT.
I can't wrap my head around why

It's not that strange, the wireless signal doesn't have to be that strong and it's a small amount of data, but driving earbuds/headphones takes some juice

Huh, I always assumed that was the other way around.
And its driving a pair a ZSN, so shouldn't be that much.

i got a ruizu yesterday, its pretty good for what is is
obviously its chink stuff so i can only hope the battery doesnt die by the end of the month
the interface is bizzare, left and right act as a back and forward option in the OS, but it seems fine once getting used to it
however it has a weird kink where it forgets your library after restarting it, if you click resume everything comes back, kinda odd but not a big deal for me
i'll probably do the ipod rockbox stuff eventually, assuming i use the ruizu as much as i think i will but for now its very nice
twas only 20 quid

Hey, what keyboard is that? it looks like mine

I had used a X02 for almost two years and the battery is still fine, I recommend to install the AGPtek firmware, it makes it more usable.

What is that? Fuck should I just buy the Benjie T6 I saw in /csg/

looks to me like the agptek site is down, i'll give it a go in the morning if its up, thank you for the info!

Bro, you should know how is with chinkshit.
Its always a gamble

Dear friend

so i installed the agptek software but the colors were wrong and it seemed slower so i reinstalled the ruizu one
oooooooh well

I was thinking about getting the new Fiio m11 but the price bros

Thoughts on the Fiio Btr3?

M0 crown stopped clicking, Amazon and shamling pointed fingers at each other so I opened it up myself and ducked the touch cable when the screen popped up. Anyone else had this happen? It's still working as DAC for now.

Tl,dr; don't take your m0 apart

pic related, Sony NW-A45
>Are there any with good battery life (min 10h)
up to 45h
>2x (or higher) playback speed for podcasts
i'm not sure, but it has a "language"-function, you might want to check it out
>Bluetooth headset capabilities
the best you can get - even aptx HD is supported, so you're futureproof
>and some way of wireless syncing files from Linux and Windows.
that's a nope. cable required, but it mounts as a file system, so still drag&drop

Attached: sonyfag.jpg (678x937, 56K)

you can create playlists on it and it has a "bookmark"-system to save your favourites in several lists. it resumes from where you left it, too.

Shilling the A45 is a bad idea when the A100 is around the corner.

>A100
it will probably cost a fortune compared to the A45 and not even sound better. also, rumored to be android-based. it's nice to it being able to use wifi-streaming, but at this point one could just keep using their phones.

Sony’s A series has always been dirt cheap so no reason to assume a price hike. And considering that the DMP still uses the Sony OS there’s no reason to assume they’ll suddenly break from it to use Android after releasing all their stuff under the Sony OS. More likely than not it’ll just be a new version of the Sony OS with some sort of wifi function. Knowing Sony’s engineers it won’t even support streaming, just wireless syncing.

the only thing keeping me back is the proprietary connector

All Walkmans come with a WM port to Micro USB adapter.

i'm not familiar with sonys plans but with their autism, so i guess you could be right. we'll see. and the A-series is not always that cheap, the A55 is above 300 eurobucks, the A45 is currently 170 on amazon. so if one need a DMP now, i can recommend it
as ai said, it's sonys autism. i would prefered a standard usb-connector, too, but it's fine since i only need it to recharge now and then so i don't have to carry it around all the time.

$300 is nothing by Sony standards. In any case I would wait a month for the A100’s announcement at the IFA if I were you.

Your cables fucked probably

sure, you can get one for 2k, but since most folks here are buying 50 buck chinkshit, the A45 is a pretty great deal for an entry gate audiophile DMP with bluetooth support, high-res-audio and USB-DAP functionality.

If that’s all you wanted I would more readily recommend the likes of the Shanling M0 than the A45. Sony’s DAPs don’t start getting good until the ZX300, and that’s out of the 4.4 exclusively pretty much.

i'm pretty satisfied and since i'm a sonyfag i won't go down the chink rabbit hole.

The reason you buy Sony is because their OS is very stable and the WM1A/1Z are two of the best DAPs in the high end market, with the DMP-Z1 of course being in its own category. You’re only getting one of those two things with the A series and at that point you may as well buy a DAP from one of the decent chink companies like Shanling or A&K’s Activo CT10.

Is there one that can run a 250 ohm dt770?
i have a portable amp but it would be awesome if it didnt require it

Here's a challenge
Recommend me a pmp that is
>cheap, $30 or less (new/used)
>supports rockbox
>allows for microsd extension
>has good or upgradable battery life
>decent-good sound output

I miss my sandisk clip that I had in middle school and I haven't been able to find it around the house since. :(

my 250ohm 990s are fine from any source i've tried them on

Nah
Fucking poorfag, you wouldn't get anything decent sub $50

>In one meeting, Thanos suggested calling it the Clip as a reference to music clips, and the name stuck. “People said you should be in marketing,” he recalled with a laugh.

Drag and drop is honestly unacceptable. I should be able to manage my library, playlists, and encoding on my desktop and have to do nothing but click a "sync" button when my device is plugged in. Musicbee does this for me with both phone and iPod. You should stop managing music slowly like a caveman from 1999.

>managing music
nigga, i'm like plugging it in once a month if i found something interesting on bandcamp, i don't manage anything.

>doesnt one click sync playlists
>doesnt one click sync album art
>doesnt one click sync lossless files and encode them on the fly
>has to open up a different folder to copy specific albums of an artist, has to do this for every artist

Cheap chinese players? Preferably

Ruizo/agptek

Get the cheapest one you can find

>download FLAC from bandcamp
>while it's loading, i plug in my DMP, because it's due for recharging anyways
>download is done, copy the files in the sd-card
>forget about it
>unplug it before leaving the house
unbearable, how can one live like this?

What keyboard is that in your pictures? Looks comfy.

>sansa clips were once sub $30

ok retard

>were
Yeah retarded boomer they WERE, inflation bitch

I'm going to ejaculate gallons onto your feet and toes.

Are there any non-ipod pmps that can support the ipod accessory protocol? Rockbox support is shit, so I'm discounting that.

The mailman just dropped this off. What am I in for, /pmp/?

Funny, I ordered that one and then checked the thread, and its the one you recommended. Yeah I hope it's good.

Since you're not mentioning anything about touch it say you should look for something from Sony. Had 4-5 of their devices over the years and never had any issues with them besides going obsolete.

Dumb question, is the FiiO X1 2nd Gen any good? Does anyone else have it and can give a review?

Is the topping NX4DSD plugged into a Moto E LTE(acting as the player, doesnt do anything else) good or should i replace the moto with something

Attached: perfect-phone.jpg (1200x800, 495K)

The Moto E 4G/LTE has OTG and supports external DACs, so I don't see why you should replace it.

So like, X02 ok? or are they gonna sound shit

Can anyone suggest me a pmp that can also do video (doesn't have to be a huge screen) and doesn't have a camera? I can't have cameras at my work now.

Anything with rockbox supports scrobbling.

u can put anime girls on ur zune?

can 5g rockboxed ipod support 256gb+? No mention of this online.

Absolutely. There are different combos that will give you more than that using msata, sd, few micro sd's, etc.

Where do I go for documentation on writing software for Rockbox? Specifically on using RS-232

ayy thanks user. Chasing 1tb myself. What's your setup?

What is that?

Thats exactly the one im talking about. Nothing less than $50 sounds better than that

How do I put lyrics onto my Shanling M0?
Is there some interface program that the manual didn't tell me about?

arent lyrics part of the file's metadata?

Which I can't edit for some reason.
Every time I try to add a track listing it rejects it.

What do you guys think about voice recorders?

I'm getting a Sony UX560.

Are you sure? I can also get the colourful C3

plus /csg/ shilling the benjie t6
