Obscure Chinese DAPs

[JimiMack]

Anyone know anything about this one?

It's a touch screen, Android dap, for $40(yesterday it was $33). You can download any play store apps on it. The reviews on Ali are positive. Holds up to 512gb SD, which between that and Spotify, that's more than enough for me.

Worth the money? Really need a new dap that won't cost an arm&leg

For the price give it a try.

Yeah I'm going to. Gonna wait until it goes back on sale. I'll make a post on how it goes after I get it

Well I got this, and I've spent about a day with it and I'm pleasantly surprised. It runs Android 9, and works like a phone/tablet, you can download whatever you want. I stripped it down(didn't come with a ton of stuff) and put all my lightweight apps on it.

The sound is good to me, imo. It doesn't sound any worst than a phone or tablet sounds. So I'm quite happy with it. The battery lasts, which is kind of the main reason that I got it.

I got it for $30 on sale. It's usually $30-$40. If you're looking for a cheap Android dap then this isn't a terrible choice.

Edit: And the size is really nice. It's about half the length of a phone and less width than one as well.

Thank you for your impression! Does it support type-C dongle DACs?

You're welcome!

Unfortunately it does not. I just tried a cx31993 dongle and the music came out of the dap not the headphones.

Thanks for trying! I believe we will get there, 30$ android player paired with 50$ dongles which will probably outmatch 200$ DAPs

A new version of Zishan DSDs with dual ES9038Q2M at less than 65 dollars???

Cannot find anything about it tho, so be careful as it may be some fake ad... but if true that would be the most insane price for value device, it's basically a Z4 (without bluetooth) in the body of the good old DSDs (with Type-C).

Hello, I hope someone can help me, I mainly registered (after often just reading here) because I need the newest firmware (I think it's V 8.1) for the F.audio FA4.

I know the link to baidu.com that can be found but I have no baidu account and I spent hours now to get the files.

Can any one help with the files?

thanks in advance

this is old DSDs

Yeah, forgot the s, added now
But still, DSDs would have Dual AK4497EQ and cost much more... very suspicious

No, there was a couple of DSDs versions, including one with dual CS43198 (or 131?) chips. I believe the version with dual ES9038Q2M was the latest one.

is the battery removable?

 

[h8uthemost]

is the battery removable?

No it isn't

So the highest end dap's have removable batteries? If so then that's awesome

Removable would be a plus. I don't know about high end DAP not going to buy them anyway. Non android mp3 player might be good if you just want to listen to music but android based would be better you can choose your favourite software. Especially if you want to use them for audiobook.

For music how would you compare it to for example simple dongle that you used for testing like the cx31993?
