I know. We've got our phones that can do all this. Why do we want a dedicated player?
One reason people go for devices like this one is for the experience of listening to music with no interruptions or distractions. No phone calls, no notifications, just a little break away from the world to enjoy some of your favorite tunes.
Another reason is battery anxiety. It's a real thing from some people. The ability to listen to music without worrying about running your phone battery down can bring peace of mind and absence of worry.
The third reason isn't really a factor at this price point, but higher end digital audio players have much better quality DACs and other components than are found in phones and the listening experience can be much better with the right source material.
Fosi is a respected Chinese audio brand and isn't fly by night. You could do a lot worse than this one if you're looking for something inexpensive.
I like these DAP's because I pop the sd card out, reload and unload music via Explorer, and move on. Phone stays in the pocket
Community Reviews
The Fosi Audio DAP Neo is a compact dedicated music player built for distraction free listening, long trips, work, yard work, and other times when leaving the phone behind makes sense. It offers tactile buttons, wired audio, Bluetooth, and support for formats like M4A and Apple Lossless, with the CS43198 DAC noted as compatible with ALAC. The main practical appeal is avoiding phone battery drain, notifications, and storage hassles, especially when loading music onto an SD card. The key caveat is that the player has no built in memory, so storage depends entirely on the microSD card included or already owned.
Commuters who want distraction-free listening, because it plays music without calls or notifications interrupting playback.
Listeners who keep music offline for work or travel, because the SD-card workflow lets them reload files without using phone storage.
People trying to cut phone battery drain, because a separate player avoids constant charging cycles during long listening sessions.
Parents packing music for kids, because a pocket player is easier to carry than an iPad and can be handed over for backyard listening.
Buyers who need onboard storage, because the player runs from a microSD card and has no built-in memory.
People who want to use Apple Lossless without checking compatibility, because ALAC support is not universal across audio chips.
Shoppers expecting premium bundled storage, because the included card is likely a basic microSD and larger trusted cards may be a better buy.
Listeners who want Bluetooth-first convenience, because the built-in Bluetooth uses the lowest codec and skips higher-quality options like LDAC.

In 2026 there is simply no advantage to a DAP with the state of music streaming today
it's only going to get better as data becomes cheaper
if I pay for 10K songs, ($1 each) that's like 100 years of streaming

By all means everyone should use what works best for them and their circumstances.

It appears that the music storage for this DAP is purely micro SD based and I believe that it's safe to assume that the micro SD cards provided will be the cheapest that Fosi Audio can source.
I'd recommend buying the less expensive model and taking the extra $34 to another retailer and buying an even larger (128GB or 256GB) micro SD card of a trusted brand. Looks like a 128GB micro SD card can be purchased for around $25. Please, note the documented 256GB limit (grumble).
