Hi all
Thanks for the views, my home comp is not set up for streaming, the Sansa seems to have the most votes so far. Any other ideas? Happy to consider leftfield stuff.
Cheers Andy

Sansa clip is a great wee player and as mentioned expandable with a sd card. I use an I pod classic with 80 gig storage sounds pretty good even with big cans as the extra space lets you store everything lossless.
The best portable I have tried sonically is COWAN a real cut above. I have the wee no frills jobbie but the sonics are really good-well worth a look.
A used Android phone with USB audio and a portable DAC/Amp, is what I usually recommend.

Yup, I do this too. It's really easy to setup a subsonic server using an SBC (like a raspberry pi) and the DietPi installer (www.dietpi.com) works great, I stream audio from my home network to my phone (or any other internet connected computer) and then play it in the car with the phone connected over Bluetooth to the car stereo, some sort of magic!

I've gone back from a fancy ibasso dx80 to a gen7 ipod with sd card conversion. No difference in sound quality to speak of but I do get 40 hours off a recharge now.

I've got a Fiio X3 2nd Gen - sound quality is excellent. Even powers my Sennheiser HD650s reasonably well. Takes a 128GB micro SD Card.
