    I own this very same player. Loaded it with over 40 gigabytes of MP3 music I ripped from CD’s. The unit is very solid built and sounds really good. Would I consider it the best? That I can’t answer as it’s the only modern day digital player I own, besides my iPhone 15. I do like the wireless Bluetooth feature as it works well with all my JBL Bluetooth speakers. The line out also works great on my powered speakers. For the asking price I think this is a win, win.

      MP3? JBL? Not exactly getting the most out of the device.. Just saying.. Try some dsd files on it. Get a proper set of in ear monitors.

    I recommend in the $200 range, a Hiby m300. It is for pocketable use and some travel. I just got one. I took a full 512 Gb card out of my older SONY MWA 105, and put it in the Hiby and it was ready to play. All I want to do to do is set up favorites and playlists. Actually stunned play started and it has a tiny speaker!
    The SONY was so poor in battery life, and their software being necessary to sync to make playlists only on PC was frustrating. One also could not edit tags of the files in the device. Bad choice when I have so many files I've been managing carefully in windows.
    For home full size headphone and connection to component stereo, my last couple of 'higher end' DAPS were with Fiio M11 (46k tracks on 2 512 Gb microSD) due to an accident I just replaced it with a Fiio M15s.
    In the past I've from 200x, used several other mp3 and other DAP.
    I am still transferring almost 1 Tb files from PC to into 1Tb micro SD in Fiio M15s..

    Hey there! I've been looking at this one, and the Hifi Walker H2, and noticed in another video for the H2, that they were taking away a DAC option, that was specifically for ensuring high quality playback; do you happen to know if that is available on this device? Appreciate you taking the time, if you do!!
    Edit: Watching your video further, it seems like you answered my question! Thank you for producing such a thorough video on this product here; this video made me change my mind from H2 to the F20! Thanks again~

      The manual and documention all refer to the DAC option. The player supports USB DAC IN and OUT. You can connect the player to a PC and use it as a USB DAC. You will need to install the corresponding USB-DAC driver software. There is a lot more informaiton in the manual available from drive.google.com/file/d/11nfhh22LfFOBmfmLS2qAootHK53eBIr8/view

    Wow, dude I have thee exact same one, I'vebeenwaitingforsomeonetomake a videoup to date, meaningin 2024. All the ones I'veseenwere like 8 years or 5 years ago. Thank you. I seen how Bluetooth your F20 to your headphones and amplifier. But is it possible for you to do a separate video just on that and how to download music from your laptop to the F20. I would definitely appreciate it so very much . I'm in California I'm Daniel ✌️ I honestly APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO........

    If you search by artist you will see all of the albums but is there a way to see all of the songs by the artist. That is a feature that is vital for me. I love the interface of the Musicolet app for Android. If this player doesn't this feature I'll have to get an Android DAP or use an inexpensive mobile phone. Having said this I like a lot of feature of the Surfans F20 and the build quality.

      This device is very well built, it is one of the best devices I own for that quality IMO. In answer to your question, yes if you view by artist then it shows all of the songs by that artist and not what albums the songs come from. Personally I don't like this but everyone has different needs. If you explore the TF card you can see everything by artist then album.

      @@locoocho2415 if you go into the library option then it just lists all your songs but if you explore by the tf card it will come up however you uploaded, so for example I have mine in folders by artist and then album so i can control my lists that way. For me that is how I like it as I tend to listen to albums or make playlists.

    • @PopCultureGamers

      To be honest I don't know as I use Car Play in my car. However, given that this has different USB modes (i.e. one for connecting as a drive to your PC and one for DAC, etc) I suspect if your car radio uses a USB connection and you are on the PC mode then it will be able to access the songs.
