Are there any good modern MP3 players? (reddthat.com)

I have a large music library that I don't have much storage left for on my phone. There are of course other ways of solving this problem, but are there any good dedicated music players like iPods still around?

Ideally I'd like it to have Bluetooth functionality for wireless headphones, at least 512GB of storage, and an SD card slot. Possibly physical buttons as well.

I love my FiiO X5II. It's basically like a modern, hi-fi version of the first iPod without the shortcomings (i.e. the hdd).

It can play almost everything, from MP3s to DSD128, and it's pretty decent at driving headphones up to I wanna say 600 Ohm. It's very nicely built, too, and the battery is stupidly easy to swap. It has two slots for microSD cards (up to 512GB seem to work fine per slot)

Bought mine defective on eBay for 80€, fixed it up and now it's my daily driver. Doesn't have Bluetooth, though.
