- Ballas 4y agoPutting your phone in airplane mode and carrying a power bank for emergencies seems like a much more efficient solution to me?
- albert_e 4y agoI can get behind the idea of less fiddling with an expensive flagship phone, avoiding risk of dropping and cracking it, reducing wear and tear on its battery, and avoiding distraction if all you want is music or audiobooks Dedicated hardware buttons for music functions would also be a plus
- albert_e 4y agoIf a device separate from phone is desired ...an older android phone that is loaded only with music player app and good SD card and 3.5mm audio jack might suffice? It may actually make sense for custom ROMs that are optimized for dedicated use cases like these to make great purpose-driven gadgets out of old all-purpose smartphones
- Tams80 4y agoThese DAPs aren't about 'sufficing' though. That old smartphone is not going to have as good of a DAC and certainly no physical media buttons.
