I think phones have generally taken over MP3 players because you can do everything an MP3 player does on your phone.
But I recently bought one because I just like a single device having that unique purpose of playing music.

I do, they have better battery life, are lighter and smaller and actually have great sound quality (my alliexpress 20 dolar mp3 player have better sound than my desktop pc)
edit: I use it mostly for flac, not having so much going on electronically makes the sound extremely clear even on cheap devices with good headphones
20$ Chinese DAC is better than your PC?
probs better than the $2 DAC that came with the PC. I’m still not convinced DACs have any noticeable difference to sound quality, though.
I mean, there is a limit on where you don’t notice anymore. Personally I believe it’s the unwanted noise and hissing that you don’t want in a DAC.
Its a small difference in SNR but its kinda noticeable with good enough headphones (I have a Philips SHP9500)
