Although in a perfect world I'd just have an iPod with a headphone amp as good as the current Walkmans/Fiios.
That said, why is an audio player review from 2018 on the front page? o_O
They sell the ZX500 series currently, it runs android, is missing USB DAC functionality and has regional volume restrictions which completely gut the potency of the amplifier, and for which there is no known workaround currently as root has not yet been publicly obtained.
The only thing I’m not happy with is the volume limit (I have an EU machine). It doesn’t leave me any headroom on insensitive planar magnetic headphones like Fostex T50’s and Dan Clark Aeon’s. Worse than that, they limit the 4.4mm output to the same power output as the 3.5mm and have removed high/low gain completely in software in these systems

It's the newest audio player with support for Rockbox firmware and FLAC. Pointers to better alternatives with Rockbox support would be appreciated.
