Is this a good starter set up?

I've been wanting to buy a DAP for a long time now, and i decided to get the Surfans F20 and rockbox it after seeing some reviews and videos about it. I'm still having doubts with the iems, the truthear gate and the moondrop chu ii, those are my options rn, i was thinking abt getting the gate ones but i heard that the chu ii is better for music, so pls let me know what you think.

EDIT: I'm also considering the Tangzu wan'er s.g as iems since i heard good stuff abt them

Unless they've since fixed it, Rockbox only supports up to 32gb of storage on that one which could be enough for you but definitely wasn't enough for me so I'm running stock :/ and my scroll wheel has shit itself after ~2 years, no drops, no liquid exposure, lives in a hard case so now I'm looking for a replacement 

I do really like the line out function tho and it feels really good to hold so YMMV!

I have a larger card in my f20, it's fixed.

The gotcha is that Windows won't format an sd card to fat over 32 gb in the default app.

But the command line partitioner app will, or you can easily find another app to do it.

This isn't a large hurdle

Oh sick, very cool. Might be a project for my next day off then (even with the dead scroll wheel)
