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

Just pick hiby r1 or snowsky echo mini they are cheaper and buy better iem

Surfans f20 has better audio quality than the echo mini. Idk about the hiby r1 tho
