I got a DAP. The Shanling Q1. Sounds great and is an absolutely beautiful device. But it's heavy, and has the worst interface I've ever used on any music player. It's fucking awful. So it sits in a box on the shelf and I'll only ever take it out to show people how it's possible to get 90% of the way to brilliance and then totally shit the bed.

I recommend RockBox on a Sandisk Sansa Clip+. Goes to 11 on brilliance.

For years I used Sansa clip with RockBox. That was also the last player my wife used. But it's getting insanely expensive to replace them now, an it's essentially a dead technology. I did a massive search for RockBox compatible players before going the Jelly Pro route, but I didn't find anything recent. It felt like fighting against the tide. Way easier to use an Android app.
