When I discovered that iPods were no longer being made (and iTunes became appalling post v10) I looked around for hi-qual mp3 players and settled on Fiio (reading on-line reviews). I now have X1 and X3, although these exact models have now been replaced. Originally used at work, but I found good when plugged into a mini-hifi via line-out (they have options for headphones or line-out from the headphone socket). The X3 has a digital out, but I never got round to using it.
Both take a micro SD for storage (none internal), and can handle 128Gb.
They support .mp3, .flac, .m4a & probably others.
You can find things via album, artist, etc. tag in the file, but I find the files+folders view is the best way.
I don't know what would now be considered a a quality "mp3" player, but I do find browsing from the player a very easy way to select and play stuff - so I agree with other posters that a good "mp3" is the way to go. I have another gadget that will play music from the PC via wifi, but it is a right pain to use, so I don't bother.
How about a a pirate audio line out with raspberry pi zero and pibow zero case from pimoroni.com? DAC and screen with local buttons, Spotify, plex server, local mp3 etc support and not expensive
