I didn't play much with Benjie firmware since I instantly switched to Agptek's, so you'll have to find out yourself. I've shared a simple tutorial somewhere in this forum so you can easily make playlists using Windows. A lot more convenience than using T6.

BenjieT6 v1.04 firmware download link is actually on first page, which is https://www.dropbox.com/s/4sel0j3p7ve7vpb/update.upt . Last time I check it's still very much available. The GUI isn't exactly sight for sore eyes. If the skip buttons won't work with screen off I think playlist might be a...

Firmware 1.2 allows me to change volume while screen off, but not changing songs

It should be left as it is as update.upt on root, not inside any folder. Update can be executed using player's update menu. As for how update.upt should be copied is not an issue. I have an otg card reader and I copied the update file from smartphone to my micro sd.

I think it's more of the same but you need to refer to spec sheets to confirm. This budget DAPs use pretty much the same chips but different screens, buttons/navigations, designs and of course, the firmware. Just drop by any available forums or reviews. I use drivesort from ...

Benjie K9 forum https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/benjie-k9-8g-ape-flac-wav-high-sound-quality-entry-level-lossless-music-player.21762/reviews Probably wrong naming

Don't let the files scattered and keep it organized in folder(s). Folder browsing will be much more convenient.

In theory, A35 would be better, given Sony's experience in audio, as well as hardware and firmware wise. Plus, the price reflects they are not in the same league. If DAP is your primary audio source and you are willing to spend 200+ bucks for a player I think A35 is preferable. T6 has rather...

If you don't mind sharp edges and corners, I think you should give T6 a go. Regardless the usage, it supports high res music like dsf, flac, alac and also more powerful chip for better sound reproduction and faster library processing.

There is Benjie firmware not Agptek from : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-shenzhen-benjie-bj-t6-agptek-rocker.834797/ https://www.dropbox.com/s/4sel0j3p7ve7vpb/update.upt See if it helps, and use other micro sd if available

I have no trouble whatsoever connecting several devices to my Benjie T6, that includes JBL portable speaker, my bluetooth headset, my Android devices for Spotify casting. As a matter of fact, I am impressed by how convenient it handles bluetooth pairing and maintaining connection, I'm going to...

I do not own X1 but in possesion of C20. In my experience the processor is not powerful enough to handle huge library. It's struggling enough when internal storage storage reaches certain amount of content capacity. So rather than merge library from external data I could actually accept the...

That sounds about right, a pair of bluetooth earpiece with control buttons will do. Plus, a bunch of suitable tunes for every mood could be arranged via playlist(s).

It's implemented to avoid accidental button press. I don't really mind, but others might find it quite irritating. I guess a lock slider should be made available in future products like one on my ipod video.
