Hello, if you are still using them, which one do you use ?
I have 300 GB of music. I am looking for one that is privacy respectful and able to read flac. Any recommandation ?
Another vote for iPod with Rockbox installed.
I have a FiiO M3 Pro.
It’s a great player, over 120DB SNR! and DSD if you think you need it.
Codec wise it supports most everything except Opus but is now discontinued (FiiO only sells players for the uber-rich now - entry level is US$499.99 for the M11S)
If you can get one used, they’re a great player.
I’ve heard good things about the HiBy Digital M300 - but i’ve never tried one.
Either dig up an old iPod (flash-modding would be a good idea, as 300+GB iPods are rarer) and put Rockbox on it for FLAC support, or dig up an old phone or something and get a decent USB-C adapter/DAC.
I use the Kickstarter version of the Mixxtape. My wife uses the newer version, which offers some improvements.
It’s fantastically retro, but you will need to use a micro-SD.
Ok, wait, so this thing also works as an actual cassette? That’s so hilariously awesome I might get it purely for that gimmick.
Yes… in the cassette players that work with those adapters. Annoyingly, the old stereo we have set up at work in one shop doesn’t work with those casette adapters or the Mixxtape.
Also, if you use it in a tape deck, it doesn’t use the spools as inputs. You just set it playing and pop it in. Similar to my old Digisette Duo Aria.
I will admit, I have rarely used the tape deck function, but it has been useful on occasion.
Thanks, so it is probably hit and miss on that feature, but I’d also probably rarely use it. I still might pick this up as it looks very cool.
LG V20 and Neutron player app. Best sounding combination ever!
