Small DAP (for working out) that plays FLAC

[pacmantravis]

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.

 

[NumLock]

The newer Sansa Clip+. That is what I use and 90% of my files are FLAC.

NICE, no idea that the clip+ could play flac.

SOLD.

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.

Sandisk Sansa and Rocoo
usually korean and chinese player can read FLAC

A Clip is a sure bet. My current fave is a Teclast X19+, plays everything, with a 70+ hour playtime!

Sansa Fuze 4/8GB with MicroSD extension.. nice small player..

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

I would also choose the Clip/Clip+

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.

well clip+ can double as a ultra portable rig.

In that case, may I suggest the cowon i9?

 

[pmartel]

Would that also include a Sansa C150??
