I can recommend the FiiO M3K, especially loaded with https://www.rockbox.org/ https://www.rockbox.org/ . There is now a native Rockbox build (with some caveats), I use the older one from https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,52952.0.html https://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,52952.0.html - works very nice.
- mszcz 5y agoThe site lists the FiiO M3K port under unusable. Did you find it usable?
- walterbell 5y agoIt appears there are 2 rockbox firmware versions for the M3K. The older one is binary-only from a .ru site and it uses the linux kernel from the stock firmware. The newer, bare-metal version is still in development. So there's something that works today and a better version in active development. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26870940 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26870940
- mszcz 5y agoOh, ok, thanks!
- globalc 5y ago+1 I use the older one which uses the kernel from the stock firmware. To my understanding done by the guys who worked also on the original firmware. I have seen just a single issue, it's minor: fast forward/rewind does not work properly. It does forward/rewind, but slower than expected. The new native port lists quite some downsides/TODO's, so I did not yet switch over.
