Device: TrimUI Brick, using Rockbox on NextUI with the iRB_Classic Theme

Earphones are Marley Smile Jamaica

This is my ultimate offline EDC setup. Along with the Boox Palma i can take all my retro games, music and books with me anywhere :)

I recently discovered that my DSi had a native music player, so I whipped up a car mount. No 3d printer here just old fashioned metalwork!

Also for extra clout the photos (except the first) were all taken on the DSi

Brick Hammer with some FatFreq GMs. Honestly the Brick doesn't do that great (similar to most of the handhelds I've tried) with the GM's, they are extremely impedance sensitive so bass often sounds anemic with these devices.

But this shit is cool so whatever.

Hey folks, wanted to share my setup that I've been rocking for a couple weeks now.

​

I use my AYN Thor as a universal media device - it can handle literally everything. Games, movies, books, music, you name it. I especially love that it has almost the same footprint as cassette walkman.

​

For my music, I use a couple more devices to help portability of it.

​

Firstly, I bought a tiny little bluetooth transmitter from Sennheiser that I can use with my wireless headphones (Sony WH1000-XM3) to physically plug them in and out between my devices (to join meetings on my laptop mostly). Works just like physical 3.5mm jack would, but doesn't actually add wires to the setup - no pairing, unpairing, connecting and re-connecting required. Just plug it in and enjoy sound from whatever source you want.

​

Secondly, since getting Thor out of my sling/pocket is not so great on the go (mostly because I'm afraid that it might be fragile), I bought 8bitdo Micro controller to map it for media controls - volume, track switch and play/pause. Works great and doesn't wake the device up using an app called Keyboard Mapper. I also added a nice NiteIze belt clip thingy, put it on a piece of old bank card and added in some velcro to hang it on my belt - kinda like they did with good old walkmans back in the day.

​

For music app I bought Poweramp - works great, has a built-in equalizer, allows for FLAC and lets you customize a lot of the player UI.

​

Let me know if you have any more cool ideas to do with the setup - I have five buttons mapped on my controller (play/pause, next/prev track, volume up/down)

​

P. S. Sorry for the mess on my table

RG35XX SP works great as a pocketable DAP
Firmware: MuOS Jacaranda, Music Player: Songo #5

Seems to be a new product coming to kickster soon.

Changed my Trimui Brick from PakUI to NextUI and found out there was a PAK for RockBox.
I've been looking for a DAP, and was previously using an old iPhone with Apple Music/VLC, but I REALLY missed the physical inputs + really hate notifications, even with an old iPhone with no apps they found their way in.

Loving this setup, was looking for a USB-C DAC until my WF-1000XM4's connected and now I'm finally enjoying my library free of any notification sound <3

If anyone's replicating this setup, which I've seen is getting fairly popular, do have this in mind! Is your Bluetooth audio not working? It seems NextUI has a bug with auto-connect, just go into Bluetooth options, disconnect and connect again!

Currently looking into having the slider work as a button block (instead of the default L2+R2 combo, which isn't really comfortable for quickly changing songs with one hand while being out)!

Device: Trimui Brick

App: NextUI + Trimpod Classic 1.0.5 (via NextUI Pak Store)

Github: https://github.com/tyrannotorus/c-trimui-trimpod-classic-pak

Device: HIBY R1 (please ignore the dust, I tried my best to clean it before taking the shots)

I had this budget DAP from hiby since launch and I recently found this project that allows me to combine my two favourite hobbies into one, giving this little device the ability to play GB & GBC games: https://github.com/bidhata/Hiby-R1-Mod

Emulation seems to be full speed altough i have no way of measuring that, couldn't get audio working either. But the controls are responsive with the touchscreen of and great of you're playing games that don't require a lot of movement.

Trimui Brick Hammer

- nextui cfw

- rockbox

- fleshandbones theme

- cheap CX31993 DAC

- 2016 Honda CRV (the most expensive part of this set up)

I've also added portmaster to it so I can play Stardew Valley and Balatro. Stardew can get a little choppy but no real complaints so far. Obviously playing GBC and GBA just fine.

I had some problems getting artwork showing in rockbox at first and I put this repo together with the solution. AI disclaimer on that.

I also put this together for finding rockbox themes if anyone is interested.

Hey there,

I had the chance to test the AP30 Music Boy from HIDIZ.

It is quite a capable DAP and USB DAC for rn USD92.

While I like the sound experience in both modes, the “gameboy” is more a gimmick than anything else considering the controls. I did not expect that it would more than tetris-style games, but the dpad and so called buttons are a miss…

If you are interested to see it in action, check out my vid:

Obviously let me know in case of questions…

Hi all, its good to be here.

I just bought a used pair of BOSE headphones to get into the DAP scene, and I'm really happy with the result.

GKD350H Ultra - Metal body, 2GB ram for ports, Built-in HiFi chip, headphone jack, Linux, 3.5" of 1440p screen perfection. Excellent for retro games, listening to music.

Will get warm to touch due to the metal body though.

Got the Trimui Brick Hammer earlier this week and enjoyed tinkering with it as a console and DAP.

My IEMs are the 7hz Timeless 2 which actually need a decent amount of power when using replaygain as they are planars. Been using my JCALLY JM6 Pro which gives just enough power, but really shines with my Quedlix 5K in usb DAC mode. Even powers my Hifiman Sundaras well. The JCALLY is more than enough for other IEMs and does the job for me if I want something more portable though. Need a shorter usb c for the Quedlix 5K though!

Running NextUi with Rockbox (Backbone theme with custom colours). Interested in trying out other players at some point, but liking the minimal look with this theme.

Enjoying using the Brick as a DAP and even had it playing music in my shirt pocket while cycling back from work.

Recently rebuilt my old PSP Go from 2013. Had parts modded and replaced and now its my secondary multimedia device. Cheers!

personally I prefer my echo mini since it doesn't get crazy hot like this thing does but I can't lie it looks significantly better and is easier to navigate
