Hi there,
I'm looking for a small DAP that plays FLAC files. Any ideas? Im thinking along the lines of the SanDisk Clip, Ipod Shuffle when it comes to size.

The newer Sansa Clip+. That is what I use and 90% of my files are FLAC.
Home: PC >> Little Dot DAC_I >> Little Dot MKVII+ >> HD650 / K701 / DT990(600ohm) / K240(sextett) / HD280Pro

Even the older Clips support FLAC. With the Shuffle, you'd have to convert everything to ALAC, I believe.
The Clip / Clip+ is a perfect device for workouts, imo.

Hands down Clip+... I think you already came to this conclusion but I'll say it again for good merit.

Yea... but just pointing out, if you're working out I don't think you'd hear the details that are going to be saved using FLAC rather than mp3 320.... what headphones are you using anyway?
But I could see if you already have a serious rig and use the FLAC for that or dont' want to convert but... if you're just using FLAC to use it I don't think you're doing yourself any good to use it in that setup.
