Anyone know where I can source a Walnut V2S/V3/F2? It's gone from Ali but I'm wondering if it's still listed on Taobao somewhere.
I'd rec the Shanling M0 or Hiby R2 MKII.
Looks interesting. I was planning to pick up FA4 during 618 sale to use as bt receiver. Will compare the specs between the two. I really like F.Audio's new dongle KS01. It was very buggy on release but all issues I had got resolved with firmware update.New (?) F.Audio T3 on various AliExpress stores. 2.4” touch screen, 3.5 LO/PO + 2.5/4.4 Bal. Dual ES9318C DAC/HPA (a somewhat mysterious chip, not listed on ESS website, but used on things like the Aune BU2). Bi-directional BT up to AptXHD. Xmos USB-C interface. Not clear if it has EQ.
… and the F.Audio question: more features = more bugs, but no fixes ???
Edit: forgot the price…. It is listed at $75-100 in AE, a competitive price!
Aigo MP3-105, or any of its derivatives. Look for players that share the same internals, they're always floating around on Aliexpress, and Amazon these days. Battery lasts forever. Uhm, like this:I'm looking for a DAP with a very very good autonomy, no touch screen and for a low Price.
Sound is not the priority.
Any advice ?
That MECHEN dap can be ok if not demanding an hi-end sound, but specs are funny. Ok if it can't play FLAC above 48Khz, but could not accept that it reads AAC in mono instead in stereo...!!Aigo MP3-105, or any of its derivatives.

Striking design flaw to lack pouse/play button, I'm sure software is unusable too.New (?) F.Audio T3 on various AliExpress stores. 2.4” touch screen, 3.5 LO/PO + 2.5/4.4 Bal.

Did you get the standard or bluetoith version?After having bought quite a few rare DAPS, F.Audio disappointed me a lot, after having bought several. I agree with our colleague @deltecdpa in his appreciation of them.
I have been lucky enough to have tried other brands such as ACMEE, HiBy, Hidizs, xDuoo, even AGPTek. But now I have the pleasure of owning a rare but exemplary sounding DAP paradigm. Like all quirky DAPs, it has its quirks and odd functions. But when you press Play, Ayyyy dude! things change.
Is the Aune M1p an obscure DAP? It's a simple DAP that sounds great.
