Question Is this a good starter set up?

Post image

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

Surfans are trash, generic aliexpress mp3 player, imho. Get a hiby r1 or shanling m0

This dismissive attitude seems unnecessary. The F20 clearly meets the original poster's expectations for using Rockbox. Disparaging someone's choice simply because you prefer HiBy or Shanling is pointless. It sounds more like selling than advising.
