>physical volume knob are all I ask for
For what purpose? "Proper" analog potentiometers suck (channel imbalance etc) and they were never really a thing on DAPs anyway.
Digital clicky knobs are basically buttons with extra steps. Fiddly, ratty, annoying to deal with, fail more easily than buttons, can't be adjusted quickly (skipping, working backwards when moved too fast, etc).
