An iPod Touch might be suitable for this purpose as it's basically an
iPhone without the phone functionality. It would have the capability of
connecting to WiFi, of course, but not a mobile network/cellular.

As of a few years ago at least, there were a couple of music player iOS
apps that offered crossfeed and detailed eq; I'm not up to date on that
since I'm a dedicated mp3 player user.
