i use an old cellphone with the radios disabled. throw a big old microsd card in and youre good to go.

hanabatake OP ,

I would also do that but sadly I do not have any spare phone and my phone has no sd card slot

If you’re in the USA, best buy might have a returned low end phone, Moto’s often have SD slots.

Sadly, Android does not have a good folder player tgat does FLAC, so VLC is it.

android has a neat little “folder player” ☞ f-droid.org/packages/souch.smp/

I tried that some time ago, one early version renamed my files so that I had to rebuild my SD in order to sync directories.

Up to that point I liked it a lott and used it. VLC, despite the UI, has not wrecked my files.

renamed your files 🤔

how? it doesn’t even have the option to rename

Some of the old LG phones (the V series) were known and sold for the quality of their audio. If you can find one of those on eBay it should be pretty cheap.

I agree with this. I have one that I have kept for the audio. I loaded a 512 Gb card it it and it is perfect. Now i just need to seriously expand my music collection.

The OG Galaxy S had a dope Wolfson WM8449 DAC in it. I used the Voodoo sound app to get proper drivers on it and it became the best sounding phone I ever had. It drove my 250 ohm Beyerdynamic headphones with ease.

I use a Sony NW-A55 walkman. It is one of the latest models of digital audio players that doesn’t use Android. It has a microsd slot, supports flac, bluetooth, and no internet connectivity. The japanese models are still available new on ebay, you just have to change the language on the player to english.

I love it.

I backed this: www.crowdsupply.com/cool-tech-zone/tangara

Its not yet released and is in the manufacturing process but I think it’s worth considering

You should look into Rockbox. It’s an open source alternative firmware for a variety of portable media players that adds features such as support for more file formats (and it runs Doom). As for which supported players I’d recommend then maybe a flash modded iPod or an AIGO Eros Q or K (also sold as the HIFI WALKER H2, Surfans F20, or AGPTek H3).

I had to get a player without any internet access or camera awhile back to use while working with confidential information, and ended up getting a 2nd Generation Fiio X3. Was a bit expensive, but was the most recommended for the price at the time, was a lot cheaper than the Sony, B&O and Astell+Kern it was compared with in reviews, and still works well years later. I just use a microSD card reader to update it, there’s a driver to install if you want to use it as a DAC otherwise it’s not needed

hanabatake OP ,

Thanks ! I will check all that :)

I am currently rocking a Shanling M2X which I bought secondhand for €75,- from the local classified ad websites.

Officially supports up the 512Gb but according some reviews it can do up to 2Tb microSD cards ( headfonics.com/shanling-m2x-review/ ). I currently have a music collection of about the same size. The Shanling M2X can drive all the IEMs I throw at it, has enough file system support to read just about anything and has WiFi and Bluetooth. Although the WiFi can only be used to wirelessly sync files (which can be a pro but also a con, depending on how you look at it).

However if you don’t feel like going secondhand, Shanling offers a whole bunch of devices meant for offline playback of local files.
