that the card needs to have music copied to it; needs to be of a large size, and needs to be changed if there is a large library (unless you erase and recopy which is a hassle). If one wants to be masochistic ,go for the arrangement. This also counters your arguments for a 'convenient' system.
There are so many offers made for SD cards and the like, and so many fakes that I would not, for one, spend a lot of money for a large card. You don't seem to have understood this either.

I comprehend this fine. You still do not get my point. I donot recommend such a system as it exists now for general use. It may however be used as a kind of "absolute reference" against which other systems are judged.
Further, your arguments are not really making much of a point.
If using a computer HDD the music also needs to be copied to them.
To work around the size limits (256GB max at the moment) a multi-slot reader may be integrated. An 8-Socket reader can right now hold 2TB.
To make filling the player easier, simply have a USB Interface for a PC. Add a manager app that also adds all the required meta data (Playlist files, coverart etc.) with the music files, you can fill those 2T quite easily, with the player acting as USB SDCard reader.
If one where to add a small wireless bridge (bluetooth?), one would be able to retrieve the meta data from the SD Card and store it in the the control apps local cache (e.g. on an Tablet). Then you have all the rich interface, searching etc. we get on a Computer, but a playback device which in playback mode is a very basic serial memory reader that then sends the data on.
A USB DAC would not be supportable, but there is no point why a DAC should not be included.

I recently bought a large number of 64G SD Cardsfor my Sony Phone, to take along music in HD (yes, I have to swap cards by hand). Other than having to swap cards the whole arrangements is very convenient and quite easy to use.
I had no problem getting genuine cards at a good price. Maybe you are just too greedy and going for the lowest price ends you up with fakes?
Anyway, I am considering right now buing the Tablet version of my Phone and using this as dedicated music playback/streamer, it sure is cheap enough. Of course, that is still using Computer, even if it is in effect the same platform as a fair few "streamers".

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to untolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
spell it right in your post.
You posted as though it was a general thing to do and your reply simply demeans your status as an 'expert'.
SD cards costs at least $2500; more in the UK.
