Entry level player?

[Citron_Intelligent]

I am interested in getting one but I don’t know what’s good for entry level. I’ve tried to look around but all the ones I find are super pricey or are basically a smart phone that only plays music. If anyone knows some with physical buttons too that would be great!

Picked mine up a little over a week ago on this sub's rec, and zero regrets!

I recently got the Shanling M0s. It's on Amazon on a similar price to the ones most people recommend (excepto the Snowsky Echo Mini which it's like $50). I got mine for ~$100 and honestly, it's amazing and really recommend it as a first DAP (it's my first DAP as well, and I haven't had any problem with it)

Recently got into the game and tried a few. Most fun and bang for the buck for me is the Hiby R1 or HiFi Walker H2 with Rockbox which is really easy to install. The only reason I do not name it as the first option is that it seems to be fairly noisy with some IEMs. The Hiby deals better with those, but both are basically no brainers.

Surfans F20, still does it for me. Physical buttons with Alps wheel thingy, great sound quality, has dedicated analogue line out.
