Chinese Android MP3 Players

Hi,
I'm not sure if you already pulled the trigger on one of these, but be aware of two things:

1. Most of them doesn't support audio via USB-C port, so you are end up with the internal amplifier. I have one of these and it is certainly not enough even for efficient EIMs like IE200. I need to keep the volume around 80 to 95%.
2. Many of them are rooted, so some of the Android streaming apps simply refuse to start. One example is Apple Music.
3. Many of them have zero support, so forget about the new Android version or security fixes.
4. They all supports LDAC, but you can find not that many headphones with LDAC. M300 has AptX, AptX HD and AptX Adaptive (+ LDAC).

I have this one:

If you don't care about video, check this one:

But to be honest M300 has unbeatable price right now, so most probably this is the best option.

Cheers. My usage is with Bluetooth headphones, so the internal amp isn’t a concern.

I’ll be getting one soon enough, but I’ve no rush at the moment, as it wouldn’t get use for a few months.
