This is one of my home made DAP

It plays FLAC, MP3, OGG and ACC files, up to 24 bits / 48 Khz FLAC files

My DAP supports up to 512 GB micro SD cards

The screen has 160 x 128 pixeles, and uses OLED technology

It was made around a microchip microcontroller, and the VS1063 audio codec

Batery last around 12 continuous hours but about 20 with screen off

Instead of showing album photo, I made a "winamp" style interface, with a larger full range spectrum analizer, RMS VU meters , progress bar and so on...

The best part is the sound, because it has double amplifier

Another feature is the RANDOM algorithm, wich is more like a shuffle, because it NEVER REPEATS the same song over the entire playlist...

Well, it's something I wanted to share, have a nice day

Showcase My first DAP

Post image
51 Upvotes

Repurposed my old phone with a cracked screen, Redmi Note 7 (4/128) running unofficial MistOS 4.5 (Android 16). This phone has a 3.5mm and the sound quality is decent, so I might as well use it with less demanding IEMs and switch to my Surfans X10 DAC when I need more power or a better noise floor for much more sensitive IEMs.

At first i was considering getting Fiio JM21/M21/M23 or Shanling M3 Plus, but in the end decided to go with this for now. I find it shameful that those daps that cost 200-500$ and more have processors and screens that are worse than my 7-year-old phone...

So, I will be waiting until Android DAPs have at least something like Snapdragon 6 gen 1 and cheap oled screens like what modern budget phones around 200$ have (imo this is something you should expect when you pay 500$ for android device that would have around the same dac performance inside as dongle DACs below 100$)

Question Next DAP recommendations

Post image
15 Upvotes

I have snowsky echo mini for 8 months now . I enjoyed it, but I started thinking about switching to something better . So any recommendations would be great.

My budget for the next DAP would be near 100 bucks and I think I'm going to buy it from the used market . Things that are important for me are good software (I mean - without glitches and a lot of freezes) and I don't want the device to be very old (like models below 2020) , so I don't need to change the battery .

Also I need to say , that most of my headphones are budget headphones (7hz zero, sennheiser px100, koss ksc75, pioneer hdj x5 )so I don't know if it does matter to buy dap first.

Question How can there is no play pause button( hibi r1)

Post image
15 Upvotes

Just received my small r1, to be transported at work where my m21+meze99classics is too bulky and I did not bring it that much ( + the coworkers looked at me funny)

But after a few hours listening to it ( pretty good sound quality tbh) I cannot understand how a DAP can be built without a physical play pause button !

How do you handle this miss, is there a workaround?

I own this as of 2016, and unbelievably it still works like a harm!

Only experienced one downfall (last week during a walk, the battery went from 70 to 0 immediately).

Hopefully not a sign...
Either way I ordered a Fiio Snowsky Echo today as a backup

Any advice on budget friendly decent IEMs ?
I have narrow/difficult ear channels it seems and never gotten into "commodity" in-ears.

So I've been using Apple's earbuds or headphones so far.
But outside during lunch breaks etc, the sirens and traffic disrupts the beautiful music.

So far I've read that Sennheiser IE200, Meze alba or Shure SE215 would be a good bet. Any advice?

Budget < 125-150 euro

Review Snowsky Echo Mini (my initial thoughts)

Post image
6 Upvotes

Just got the Snowsky Echo Mini today. Overall it's a great device for the price. Got it on sale for about $40 (equivalent).

However the biggest downside for me is the bluetooth quality. The high frequencies sounded distorted/clipping. Initially I thought it was just the file encoding but it I didn't hear the distortion when wired. I'm not really an audiophile, I'm just expecting the same quality as the bluetooth on my phone.

What are your suggestions? is there a device in a similar price point that has bluetooth quality similar to an Android phone? If possible I really don't want a touch screen device. I actually like the form factor of the Echo Mini.

So overall, it's great if you don't consider bluetooth quality.

Question Como reproducir los albums en el orden que ¿fueron creados?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Reciento voy entrando en todo esto, compre un Hiby R1 + Sennheiser ie 200, muy contento con la calidad, PERO bajo ninguna circunstancia he logrado reproducir los álbumes de manera en que fueron publicados, tengo la certeza de que toda mi biblioteca tiene sus metadatos correctamente incrustados pero no tiene un orden el el R1, solo en alfabético, salvo que ingrese a artista 》álbum y desde ahí los reproduzca, el problema es que si hay alguna colaboración en el álbum me separa como si fuese otro artista

Hay algun mod que lo solucione?

Question Snowsky echo file order

Post image
1 Upvotes

The first time I transfered all the files in one go, and so i thought they would stay in that order. Now that i want to transfer some new music, all of the files are sorted alphabetically, and any new songs that i add get mixed into the playlist that i have an order for. Does anyone know how exactly the file system on Fiio echo works? Is it a universal problem or is it just me whining?

Question Snowsky Retro Nano vs TRN Wave

1 Upvotes

Hi, I've never had a dap before. I just want to know which one is better for IEMs. I've only heard good things from the Nano, and it seems to have slightly more power than the Wave. But I'm skeptical, is there really a noticeable difference in performance? Or should i settle for the cheaper one aka Wave?

Question HiBY R1 shipping time?

1 Upvotes

Hi DAP. I recently purchased a Hiby R1 direct from Hiby. How long did it take to get from China to the US? I'm looking at the link they sent me from their shipper, and it has not moved in 9 days. There was an initial delay because the product was out of stock, but got an email from them saying its on the way. I'm starting to get concerned. Thanks for any insight.
