Dang, I thought he had built his own hardware.

I'd still love to get a proper successor to the Sandisk Sansa Fuze, just with USB-C charging instead of its proprietary charging cable.

There's plenty of "luxury" /audiophile MP3 players out there which cost in the hundreds of dollars, but that one was in the sweet spot of bang-for-your-buck music player that I could just use for listening to music on long plane rides etc. without draining my smartphone battery.

I had been wanting something similar recently and ended up buying a Hifi Walker H2 and loading rockbox on it. Works great, and it’s a total nostalgia trip to be using rockbox again after so many years!

Wheels will always be the best way to navigate music libraries.

Oh, nice! That undercuts the price of the FiiO JM21 by about half, which was the other entry-level audiophile music player I was looking at if I ever decided to splurge on one:
