For my wood workshop I am looking for a music player with the following list of features. I have not found something like that on my own yet and hope that, by chance, one of you knows exactly the right thing. I am explicitly looking for a device that can do the following things out of the box. I am very aware that I could buy various adapters, build a case and setup my own software etc. etc. but for once I want money to be the solution :)
I have a pair of ear-protection/Bluetooth-headphones (Isotunes Pro) that I wear a lot when operating machines, but not all the time. I want to listen to music seamlessly. The device should:
- Withstand wood dust, which is IPx6 (the x is a number for water protection and doesn't matter here)
- Play music files from an USB stick. I want to select and copy my music at home and use the same stick in my car and workshop.
- Integrated loudspeakers
- Send music to Bluetooth (BT aptX protocol) in parallel to the loudspeakers. Both should be able to be active at the same time.
- As you know sending to speakers and BT at the same time requires latency compensation. Together with dust-proofing this is the reason why I want dedicated, standalone hardware.
- Optional: Turn off the speakers (=volume 0) but BT continues to send.
