I forget whether i saw this as a link on here but this was an interesting, if technical watch re that "stair-step" digital vs analogue thing that gets bandied around. The really interesting bit is roughly comparing bit depth to analogue equivalents so that a cassette would be 6-9 bits rough equivalent (noise floor and dynamic range) and good open reel tape circa 13 bits.

Snagged this banger #DAP for 70€ the other day. The HiFi Walker H2, uncompromising in the sound quality department.

Features include:
* Expandable storage (up to 256GB on stock firmware)
* 192kHz/24bit DAC
* FLAC, MP3, AAC
* Headphone and Line outputs
* Bluetooth (with apt-X)
* Can function as a USB DAC
* Great battery life

If you want an offine, portable player, and don't want to use your phone, this is a great option.

In the early 80s, you could buy a text to speech hardware module (around $200-300) for your computer, or you could buy a software only solution. The S.A.M. cost $59.95 for the software. There was a version for Apple II that also included an 8 bit DAC card, for $124.95 total. This was sold by Don't Ask Computer Software and advertised here in Antic magazine, a special edition on sound and music from October 1982.
