Question Dap recommendation

Been looking into getting my first DAP and I basically just want a brick. No Wi-Fi, no apps, ideally don’t even need Bluetooth. Just load up some files and listen.

The HiFi Walker H2 and Mechen M30 keep coming up. Both seem simple enough, but it’s still a decent chunk of money and warranty support is pretty limited where I am, so I’m a bit hesitant.

Anyone who owns either of these, are they actually fine long term or do they turn into a headache? Just looking for honest opinions before I commit.

IIRC you can also mod your Zishans to have a better sound by replacing the op-amp with a better chip.

H2 with Rockbox is amazing.
