Is there a DAP with a USB input (SSD or portable HD)?  I did some searching but couldn't find one, so thought I would ask this group.  When I travel for long periods of time I would prefer to bring a larger library of music with me.

Android devices 3.1 or higher should be able to act as a usb host. The question is whether the Android device has enough power output to power it. Battery life on the Android device might also greatly suffer.

It seems easier to choose a player with two card slots instead. The Xduoo X3 has two microSD card slots and is only $110. It does have a 0.83% pitch error when playing 44.1 files, although this is likely to be fixed soon with a firmware update.
