I want something to use when I'm traveling (school, airplane, etc.) as a laptop with something like a FiiO E17 would be considered on the big side. I know I can't find the perfect player so anything in bolded letters below will be a must.
Requirements
I'm also looking for a good pair of IEMs or headphones no more than...$100? That may be subject to change. I'm looking for something where I can analyze and enjoy music so it doesn't feel like I can only enjoy or search for details in the music. Being able to do both would be convenient. It needs to be able to be driven by the DAP/PMP as I don't plan on dual amping this player (adding on an external device such as a DAC/amp. For example, the FiiO E17) although I may in the far or near future. I haven't decided yet.
Requirements
- Supports a lossless audio codec, preferably FLAC.
- Supports video.
- Decent battery life (24 hours?)
- Ability to run Rockbox (not very likely to do so)
- MicroSD slot (preferred)
- Decent GUI
- Preferably new or refurbished
- About $140?
- No extra software needed to manage device
