Replaceable battery/hi-rez portable?

[dragonsound]

I am new to the forum, even though I have been visiting it for a few years. And, as you guessed; I need a help about my audiophile journey. Is there any "modern" portable music player with replaceable battery, except HiFiMan's? Companies praise their hi-rez crispy products, but no another battery option? What's the point to give lots of money? Because my portable music device's battery will be gone after 2-3 years. I really want to listen to music while I am away.


So, does anyone know a good bluetooth headphone-remote control device to hi-rez CD/MD players or computer? My notebook has hi-rez sound card, but I want to listen to music while studying or reading away from the computer, time to time. 


The battery replacing is problem, so I am hesitating. Although, I am leaning to Sony's new NW-A series, due to long battery time that they are saying. Other than, I am looking for bluetooth headphone+music player at home/computer combo. Any advices welcome.

I know of one. The iBasso DX50.

I found a second one. The IBasso DX90. It seems like battery life on the DX90 is under 8 hours though, vs under 14
hours for the DX50. The DX90 is also around double the price of the DX50.

Thanks JK1, I have done some search and I will put away my audiophile lust for now. Because, there is no perfect device out there. Most of them don't have battery change. There is LG V20 smartphone that is coming with hi-rez/DAP and it has replaceable battery, but it is too expensive, beside I don't like smartphones. I was planning to buy Sony NW-A35HN, I gave up, because its dimensions are smaller. I don't think that the item deserve 34000 yen. Sony is still on the wrong track, making similar mistakes as it happened at MiniDisc era of theirs. It is too expensive and not teenager-friendly. That's why mp3 has born at that time. Anyway, I will buy a reasonable cheap-ass music player for now.

Which players are you considering? The original fiio X1 is probably the most popular player on Head-fi. It is down to $80 now is the US on Amazon.  I have no idea what it costs in Japan.
