Sony NW-ZX100HN Walkman

Sony is a staunch advocate of Hi- Res Audio, and this is its latest player. It offers digital noise cancelling when used in conjunction with the included headphones. The 128GB internal memory and 45-hour FLAC playback are the key reasons for the high price, while there’s also tech to enhance compressed music files like MP3, as well as LDAC for high-res files over Bluetooth.
