All I want is something that supports:

- memory card
- full system encryption
- password
- can read mp3 comments

Nowadays there are just a bunch of no-name players, I don't think any of them do all of these.

I stream everything, what's the point in these?

...

Why are you acting like a child?

LF a replacement for my decade old D2, preferably not more expensive than 100 money
Good user interface and physical volume/hold buttons are a must

>original Jow Forums certified toaster
I want to know more about that sticker

...

The sticky should really be updates to include explanations for

Thinking of replacing my Fiio X3 1st gen with the 3rd gen. How does the 3rd gen compare with 1st gen? From what I remember the x3 had a class 3 amplifier originally, is this true and does the 3rd gen still have this?

Outside of audio quality, which doesn't mean shit because your cheap ass earbuds. there isn't a reason to use a portable outside of one that can stream.

>- full system encryption
what for

>pedo music

How can you be this stupid?

How can you be such a child that you can't respond properly, or even explain in the slightest detail the advantage of your cheap Chinese shitty decoder chip which won't make your over sized .flac files sound even remotely on par with trash like Pandora.

Has anybody tried card larger than 256gb in a sansa clip/clip+/zip?

Are the tin t2/t2 pro good? Someone mentioned them and for their price they seem to be pretty nice. Any experience with these?

>Headphone amp for iems

They certainly are excellent. They're a massive upgrade over KZ or Mi In Ears.

Go over to head fi and you will find that to be the norm i.e. maximum audiophoolery.

Awesome, thanks for the answer! Already ordered a pair

those headphones are one of my best purchases in a while god bless them

has anyone tried the FiiO M3K? thinking about buying one

Why not just use one of those older smartphones with good DAC? Genuine question here. Last I heard Xperia Z3 had some good Wolfson ones.

There's sale of Hiby r3 at aliexpress right now. It costs 147$ if anyone interested.

Given the choice between a dedicated DAP and bluetooth module like the FiiO BTR3, which one is the better choice?

What is objectively the best KZ IEM?
I'm looking for best soundstage and as flat as possible

They're pretty good. You can plug the hole to change the sound.
The stock cable and earplugs aren't very nice.

There are PMPs with streaming capabilities

Oh and don't get the pros.

Those earbuds look like some organ transplant

What's wrong with the pros?

Can you recommend any good earbuds? In ear ones would be good, don't want IEMs that you have to wrap around your ear.

Some people can't stream music, because some of the music they like isn't on streaming services. Also, streaming services require an internet connection and use bandwidth.

Zoomers love streaming, and hate pmp's.

>music
yeah right, music

Retarded zoomie who only listens to pop and hiphop

have fun listening to streamed HR music on your phone with fucking airpods.

i'm fine, how are you?

>older smartphones with good DAC
Is there such a thing?

Reportedly they have noticably elevated treble compared to the non-Pros. Haven't heard the Pros myself, but reviewers seem to have generally agreed that the non-Pros sound better.

Which is the good iPod classic gen is the best one?

I love my little Chinese friend.

My friend has one. It's cute.
What are the other good super small ones? Hiby R3, Activo CT10?

The international version of the GSIII uses a WM1811.

Fiio M5 is ok

iPod Video (5th gen)
