85genius said:have you thought of upgrading your phone. Switch from HTC to a Sony Xperia z3 won't cost you much to do as it's 2 generations old (but still a big upgrade to your HTC) you can stick a massive sd card in, the sound quality is excellent and it's one less thing to carry around
Thanks for that, I'm really looking to get away from playing music via a phone, purely as the quality is so so, amplification etc, I guess its like if you're into your photography you probably wouldn't rely purely on a phone but use the tool best for the job.
I'm still using an old iPhone for to stream music via a Roth Valve Amplifier and Mordaunt-short speakers,
