DAPs dead!

[nickmas0n29]

Hi all, my fiio x7 battery died and an unsuccessful attempt of replacing the battery was failed.
The AR-200 died and not turning on.
Hiby R3's battery was swollen and I did the retirement ceremony for it too.
I have now Hiby R5 the first generation which is freezing and shutting down often.
My LG v50 buttons failed to respond and insurance paid the cost.
I need a dap to use in my car for 3.5mm aux port with a big screen.
I don't want to use my fiio m15 or m17 in my car.
I need a DAP under $200 with physical buttons just to use in my car.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks.
Nick.

I've had good luck with a Hiby M300 so far. Those are available for about $160. It has physical buttons for volume, power, and play/pause but music is chosen though the touch screen. The unit is on the small side which also means the screen is perhaps smaller than you want.

Thank you, Mlsstl, I was looking to Shanling m3x and iBasso dx160 as they have bigger screens.
Any idea about these?

Hiby M300 looks awesome with speakers. I will focus on it.
Thank you again.

Here's the Hiby M300 with IEM's attached and a highlighter next to it to give you an idea of its size. It's roughly one-third smaller than my Samsung S22 phone.

It's a decent size which may work for me.
What is the WIFI technology?
AX or AC?

Not sure, thoiugh the unit supports both 2.4GHz & 5GHz frequencies.
