So I'm thinking on buying a new mp3 player since my Sansa Clip+'s starting to die.
I like it simple: no flashy things, or big screen, or whatever. Just the music.
Any suggestions? Plus if I can add a microSD

It's getting cold, isn't it?
Why doesn't /g/ ever talk about DAPs?
Im in the market for a new one too and it would be nice to have a thread to go to that has shilling, memeing, and actual useful information
>>52133510
yes, it is. (how did you know? are you the nsa?)
It's particular cloudy today as well. Perhaps we'll chance a good rain.
Just get a cheap chinese thing that has a microSD slot.
There's no clip+ on the market any more- it's either branded overpriced chink shit or the exact same chink shit for reasonable prices instead.
>>52133739
Any reccs on said chink shit?

Fiio m3 or xDuoo X2

Becuse everyone who isn't a luddite plays music on their electronic pocket phones. I bet you're also wondering why no stores sell phonograph records any more?

Phones aren't ideal music players though I have a shit iPhone with terrible storage capacity, and it just doesn't even compare to PC listening.
>>52133807
What he suggested, or the Fiio X1.
>>52133844
>iPhone
I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were differently abled.
>>52133847
>>52133807
Alright Ill look into them, thanks fellas.
Are there any additional considerations to take in like what headphones they are going to be driving?
>>52133822
My phone has a camera, which isn't allowed where I work, so I take bog standard mp3 player.
>>52133860
Not retarded, just extremely poor and got a freebie
>>52133866
Fiio players will drive damn near anything you throw at them, without the need for an ext. amp. I'm pretty sure that the X2 drives most anything that you would travel with well, too.

now fuck the fuck off.
>>52133885
Alrighty thanks man
>>52133896
The jam is crap, like the Clip Zip and the Clip Sport.
Pretty much everything that Sansa released after the Clip + has been a downgrade, either in build quality, functionality or both. If he goes Sansa again, he should just grab another Clip+.
Just buy an iPod like a normal person, OP.
It's weak as fuck. Sounds like ass compared to my iPhone.
>>52133822
Appeal to modernity fallacy
>>52133479
Go to aliexpress, buy the cheapest player that you like.
I think those with microSD start at $2 or something.

Loudness =/= sound quality

What's the difference between the Clip+ and Zip?
>>52134763
>500$ mp3 player
Top fucking kek. For that price you may as well get a customized iPod classic with 500gb-1tb storage

It's 50 bucks anon.
I'll probably get either one of those or xDuoo X2 once my Ruizu X02 dies.
>>52135536
Got the Fiio M3 myself. Really happy about it desu.
>>52135667
what headphones are you running with it?
>>52133510
Was 73 degrees last weekend.
fiio x1
Is there an mp3 player that change the audio balance. I have hearing loss in my left ear.
>>52133479
>Any suggestions?
Another sansa clip+ with rockbox and a silicone case to better protect it.
I also added a screen protector on mine too. Why not.
>>52136208
>change the audio balance.
sansa clip+ with rockbox can do that.
>>52135044
The stock 160gb it's going for that price. Have fun getting a 5.5g for that chipset and hope it works, otherwise enjoy the "discontinued" overprice for the 7g, last week amazon had it going for $595.

most people wont bear 40+ for extended time, are you in hell, anon?
>>52133844
The main losses are in the battery and the physical buttons. Max output voltage if you pick a powerful DAP to compare it with.
The reality is a good smartphone can be just as good or even much better than most DAPs in comparison.
>>52134931
Dynamic range compression is not quite what is going on with players
Anyway, loudness war is an oversimplified remark concerning the state of recordings and tracks. It is not so straightforward.
>>52139862
Physical keys is probably the biggest issue for me, I hate having to take out my phone to skip a song instead of just pressing a button in my pocket or wherever.
FiiO M3 is good but be warned that they released it prematurely and the firmware is FULL of bugs.
I personally use a clip+ but am replacing it with an Ipod 5g
>>52133868
Salary?
This looks like a good enough thread.
Which one do I download? I need to save my cell data, but I don't want shit quality. No idea about audio outside of basic shit (file names, lossy/lossless,) since it's not my main interest.
>>52145020
First link if all you care about is saving data and space.
