speeds of MicroSD for DAP?

Mainly speed is important for filling them up with music files. That's when the transfer rate can really save time. For playback anything recently made should be able to keep up.

Ok, lets expand on the topic a bit. the current amazon basics cards are pretty good, but unless you get a "pro" card reader you´re going to be capped at around 30-40MB/sec.

a basic 128GB card is 131000MB more or less, at the best case of full 40MB/sec sustained we´re talking an hour to fill it up. and thats loading a single file in linear write, loads of smaller files, 2-3 hours, and you´re proboboly going to be picking and choosing the files/songs you´re dropping in.

TL;DR. invest in a good card reader.

speed doesn't matter, even using pro card reader, the max speed to write on microsd are severely limited by the Exfat format which the only format supported by daps.

the 150MB/s write speed of the extreme pro cards can only write at about 30-40MB/s
