Looking for a decent portable music player (slrpnk.net)

I'm currently eyeing either an iPod classic 5th gen or a Surfans F20, but definitely want input and suggestions on getting a decent portable music player.

Basically, I'm trying to find something that has good audio quality, is not touch screen, reasonably durable, repairable, upgradable, etc. Big storage capacity is a plus. I don't wanna stream from it or have Bluetooth, mainly just wanna play audio files I load onto there and listen with my ear monitors. Totally fine altering hardware and software in order to get it to the point that meets what I'm looking for.

Any recommendations for this? Many thanks.

No good options I have found, but I would love to see the result of this thread. I use both IEMs and Bluetooth headphones depending on the circumstance and the good thing about having both is you aren't stuck with one or the other.

The other question is whether you want things like audio playback speed, chaptering for audiobooks, and marking as read. For someone using this for podcasts or audiobooks those would be useful features, but if it is exclusively music then it won't make a difference.
