Howdy.

My Sansa Clip+ has finally given up the ghost, but having come into a little windfall, I'd like to replace it with something higher up the quality scale (not that the Clip+ wasn't a great little player for the price).

I listen to all kinds of music, all saved as FLAC. I've over 500 albums, so I'd like something with expandable storage. I hear double Micro SD card slots on DAPs are a thing now? Do Android powered players have adoptable storage by any chance??

Currently, I'm using Soundmagic E10s, but I'd be will to invest in newer IEMs to partner my new player should increase in sound quality be worth it. As well as sounding great, I'd like a unit that has a responsive and friendly UI. I'd probably prefer a single device as well, rather than something that would be best used with something like the Mojo, for example.

My budget is probably around the £500 mark or so (treat yoself), so I've been mainly looking at the AK70 and Fiio X7. Both look promising, but I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Any feedback is most appreciated!
 
Well **** my luck anyway... come into a little money, and the car develops a problem that needs repairing. :o

Thanks for all the feedback guys, but looks like I may have wasted your time. I'd say my budget is now around the ton mark, so I guess I'll be looking out for reviews of the Fiio X1 2nd gen. Will the E10s still warrant replacing at this price point?
