What’s nice is how electronics stores are still everywhere here. On the way home I checked it out and, endearingly, it’s cheap plastic. Like you can toss it across the room and no damage. Interface doesn’t seen great but all I use my current mp3 player for is shuffle. 

May buy.

I read reviews for the Hibby R4 and Fiio M21. They both looked great but totally overkill for what I need. They're the upgrades. They're the thing you buy after you've got the entry level thing.

My level or rather ceiling could be way higher than I first thought. 

Looking at positions and jobs that are 2x or 3x my current income thinking, eh I can do that or rather have already done that.

The HiBy R1 sounds just like what I am looking for.

I couldn't give a shit about hi-res audio, my ears are shot anyway. Just want something small, cheap and easy to use.

Reviews sound good:

Probably the only aspect of the cheapest ones I’m skeptical of is the Bluetooth connection. I’ve tried other cheap shenzen junk that constantly drops signal. Really, I just want the Sansa Clip but USB C and Bluetooth. I don’t need fancy color screens.

The store also had a DAC with the same design. Snowsky retro nano. If it were an mp3 player, it’d be ideal.

I would have bought the R1 but the cheapest i could find was double the price. I found this YT guy Zeos. He's pretty funny and seems to know his stuff

Messed with the Hiby R1. Interface is much better, even just the buttons because it has separate volume and track ones. But for my uses, it’s chunkier and weighty. The Fiio one is so light it doesn’t feel like it exists.

Allergies already kicking my ass and this old guy at the grocery store suggested gargling watered down wasabi. This is the worst thing the Japanese have done to an American since Pearl Harbor or anime.

It was a waste of time. Thankfully not too much time.

Shame though I liked her but she was just not available. Which makes it even weirder she went on the date.

Saw a ‘lady’ struggling with a suitcase. Offered help. They said okay. It was actually a man with long hair. The suitcase weighted like 10lb.

HHH
