I’d love an all solid state iPod classic with USB-C. Something about that click-wheel interface was so satisfying. I don’t see much of a point these Android phones without the phone. If they were cheap for kids, sure. But as an audiophile device, it seems like some company should just make a phone for audiophiles with some good speakers, quality headphone jack, and a quality DAC.

Someone gonna tell them what smartphones can do?

nother useless audiophile wanking material

Android phone with microSD slot + UAPP (with PEQ and settings from AutoEQ) + USB DAC/Amp (9038D for example). Have Amazon trialled various very expensive DAPs. They’ve good, but not better with any of my IEMs or headphones.
