last year almost checked out a phone without jack at the carrier's store, noticed on time, turned around and got a model with lower specs but had a jack

I can live without the headphone jack, no micro SD card is the bigger sin, limiting you to your phones built in storage for no reason other than pure greed is infuriating
I haven't needed the extra storage of the micro SD since what feels like forever. My current phone has 128GB, I'm only using half of it and I have hardly deleted anything from it in something like 2 years.
I also had what appeared be too much storage.
Then I got 2 cats.
Now it says 99% full.

I recently bought an MP3 player because I was so sick of Sonos fucking me around, messing with Bluetooth for a few minutes every time I wanted to play a song, losing or breaking my USBC to aux adaptors, no local storage for music, subscriptions, etc.
$100 and this thing has dual DAC chips, can be used as a desktop DAC, has a micro SD card slot, 3.5 AND 4.4mm aux output, and USBC rechargeable. (And Bluetooth but I'm not touching that.) It's genuinely so good that I'm thinking about dumping all "smart" crap and just going full Y2K with my tech.
Does it play FLAC and OGG files? Make/Model please?
Yep. I have .flacs .wav etc. Plays em all. They call em DAPs (Digital audio players) now instead of MP3 player because they can play most music formats.
Fiio Echo
This thing popped out in my feed in the last days and I was tempted, would you suggest it?
P.s. is that a KZ / KBear cable I see?

Player
EDIT: Another highly recommend player is the HIFI WALKER H2. Some people are putting custom firmware on it, if you don't like the stock.

I still use 3.5mm auxiliary cables on a daily basis. Not phased out quite yet.

You'll have to pry my 3.5 mm jack and physical media from my cold, dead fingers.
Look at that gorgeous piece of machinery!
You can just buy phones with headphone jacks. I have never bought a phone without a headphone jack and without an SD card slot in my life and I don't plan on starting.
Talk? I use it daily on all my devices
I refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack. They already stole our IR blaster, I refuse to let them take more

Been holding onto my phone for 7 years. Still totally fine. Really not looking forward to seeing how hard it is to get a phone with a 3.5mm the next time I'm in the market. Whoever still does it gets my money.
I still own this one and it's thicker than the rest phones todays. https://m.gsmarena.com/lg_v40_thinq-9300.php

I like both. wireless for the convenience, wired for the quality n latency. Imagine a guitar effects rack n all pedals are connected via bluetooth. Every note would have a 3-5 business day delay. BUT not having the option to choose is a real bummer.
