Hi does anyone have any recommendations for portable digital audio players which can play FLAC.

Not keen on any iOS device. Been looking at Astell & Kern (either the Jr or AK70) or Sony. Not sure what else is there that's worth considering.

My Sony XZ does too. I have to say that the Sony phones beat the iPhone for music quality via headphones hands down IMV. I was surprised.
