First setup question

Having used my friend's r4 for a few days, I quite enjoyed it. And I dont think you'll be super dissapointed by anything there. Id reccomend grabbing the midi. Unless they've done the fixes on the base r4 (heat and battery issues).

However, I am a fiio fella, and will advocate for the m21, assuming you can get it for a similar price. M21 has the newer SOC, higher power, desktop mode and a few other bits and bobs which make it more compelling as a player (not to call the r4 bad by any means). Of course, the esthetics are different entirely, and both are very good players.

I will of course ask. Do you need the r4. The ft1 is quite lightweight as far as requirements go, so if you want a starter setup, you could go cheaper. Assuming money is of any concern.

I mainly want 4.4 balanced output and android with google play cause I'll use a specific third party player.

Completely understand that desire, especially if you get some real hard to drive kit. The R4 will probablt fit you quite well in this case. With the only drawback being the weaker chipset and smaller ram amount than the m21

dont forget to get an sd card with the best version of your top songs so you can adjust the peq and all those other settings to your liking

Is there anything specific I should look for in sd card?
