I'm a bit doubtful about these cheap android players, to me those look a lot like old mtk smartphone's motherboards recycled into a new body, they might sound even worse than the 15-20$ players we know as there is no mention about the hardware managing the audio part, If cheap android is the...

No one tried the BENJIE M6? Looks pretty sweet to me for the price.

Cheap Android DAP or just some stock of old smartphones boards rebranded into a new body? Zero mentions about audio quality, so probably more the second option (using the cheap SoC DAC)...

I could only found one mention on one of the Aliexpress links, 750mAh, paired with such a big screen shouldn't be stellar, I assume. But I'm not sure it's correct or just a random number they threw.

Ruizu H1 looks quite sexy, at 35$ is extremely tempting:

Hello, someone managed to try the Ziku X10? I'm ready to pull the trigger between X9 and X10, I like more the look and build quality of the first, but the second has the aux exit and replaceable OP-AMP, should I consider something more before choosing between the two? Wish they also had...

Now that's some early 90's design!

Awesome, thank you for your first impressions, seems I have to discard it. Since you tried them, what would you suggest between Nintaus X10 and the IQQ C18?

Thanks for the feedback! I don't know about real hours, but the IQQ should have a 1500mAh battery and the dodocool lists a 1400mAh unit, and it could be possible that it's actually the very same. So I don't know if it's possible to have all these hours of difference with just a theoretical 100mAh.

it seems there is a cheaper iQQ C18 clone on amazon, for a lot of markets actually http://www.dodocool.com/hi-fi-player-2956/p-da106gy.html now the question is: This, the Nintaus X10 or the Ruizu A50?

wow, that's pretty good actually :) So you are already trying it since at least some days? What are your thoughts about it? Will you review it?

@mbwilson111 Some first impressions? seems to be the most promising entry level player of the moment, what are your feelings about the UI and the controls? Obviously for the sound some time is needed, but if you also have some impressions to share, those are more than welcome :D I don't know...

this little player looks very promising, has all the potential to be the quality-price ratio king. This is getting very close to what I'm looking for, I was going to pull the trigger towardd Hidizs AP60, which also has Bluetooth (nice added feature, but not fundamental to me) but controls don't...

there is also this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newest-PHILIPS-MP3-Player-Sport-Students-Mini-FM-recording-walkman-SA2208/32823207290.html

It's the first time I see the "V2S", is it a new version? Seems quite a pleasant upgrade. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Walnut-V2-New-DIY-MP3-Professional-Lossless-Music-MP3-HiFi-Music-Player-Support-32GB-TF-Card/32793629059.html Unfortunately the no-screen/gui is a deal breaker for me...
