TEACHA-P90SD-B Portable Hi-Resolution Digital Audio Player/Headphone Amplifier, Black

I've done extensive research on this and other DAP's before purchasing, and i'm so glad I got it. I won't go into a lengthy review because the nice gentlemen before me already did that. I will elaborate on some things though. The UI is definitely primitive, like an early 2000s setup. No WiFi, bluetooth or anything of the sort. It literally has 3 options on the main screen; Music, Playing & settings. There is a reason however why Teac decided to make the UI so minimal. From what I read, having a fancy, touchscreen UI can diminish the integrity and functionality of the player itself, kind of getting in the way of the audio quality. Having internal storage also does this, which is why there's an SD drive only. By having a primitive UI, you get what you're really looking for anyway, sound reproduction. If you want a fancy touchscreen interface with many gadgets and options to play with, this isn't for you. But for me, I wanted something simple but beastly and this was it. The battery life does suck yes, it's like 6 hours of playback I think. However, I do believe this is the case with most "high(er)" end DAP's. I think it's really cool that this is also a headphone amplifier. I connected my old iPod (from 2009) and my new iPhone 6 and they both worked just fine. It says it's made for iOS devices but you can hook them up to Androids and more. The way this player organizes the music files is kind of annoying; it's NOT like a flash drive type of player like the Walkman where it would recognize folder names. There is no drag and drop, you have to do that on the SD itself when not in the unit. You have to edit each tag with at least the genre or album name. Luckily you can do a multi-edit. Once you get used to that and figure out the player's liking you won't be bothered with it. Also I wanted to point out that my player accepts MP4 files which is freaking awesome. I have several YouTube converted files that are over an hour so they had to be MP4'd and even though Teac doesn't advertise that this player accepts them, it does. It's quirky and it has it's flaws, just like any DAP. I don't see any reason I would ever want to return this or trade in for some fancier player that is $1,000 +

I bought this when it on sale. Great value for the sound.It has very natural, reference sound which I am looking for.I bought this because I heard some engineer of earphone company use this as a reference device for adjusting sound of their earphone product, such as VSonic.Very happy with the purchase.I know there are certain down side of this device, such as battery life, SD card related problem, but those are ok to me. And I chose this because the sound.I also compared this with Onkyo HA300, they share almost the same hardware spec, outlook, operation etc, except the amp chip on them are different. So they sound different,If you prefer more musical, forward, darker, base heavier sound, then HA300 is more suitable.

Very durable， nice design and the audio output produce very clean sound

Great sound however I am waiting for a firmware so FLAC files are supported in 192kHzThank you

Great
