Digital Audio Players (DAPs)

I don't like the twiddly bit. Looks like a silly design to me.

Twiddly bit?

Twiddly bit?

Methinks 'volume control'.....

I've used DAPs for years, and currently I use these 3, from L to R: a HiBy R3 Pro Saber, a HIBYDIGITAL M300, and a Fiio M21. Though I mostly use the three at home, the first two fit in the watch or coin pocket of my jeans, and the latter two are android devices. I like them all and don't expect to need another one, although I do enjoy and appreciate -and learn from- lots of amazon trialing. I trialed and returned the HiBy R4 and JadeAudio JM21, for instance, around the same time as the M21.

Having ruled this DAP out on a price-basis, reviews like this are somewhat persuasive:
