Obscure Chinese DAPs

How does Colorfly c200 sound? Forgetting the features and issues, on sound point, is it good as a FiiO x5 atleast? Did anyone try a c200 against a c10 against the popular $ 200 players?

Reviewed it a few years ago, here. I remember it was bright, interesting design (well, different for sure), but it lacked a lot of common features and I don't think fw ever go updated (still work in progress). Haven't listen to it since review, probably somewhere in the box, need to charge it up to refresh my mind.

I would be grateful if you can compare it against something in 200 bucks range. To say, the c10 and c200 are available in many websites for half of their original price. Thought it would be a deal for now.

Hi,
i have the Agptek H3. It has USB OTG, does that mean i can use it with an external DAC/AMP via USB?

Hi,

With my DAPs OTG means I can connect a usb flash drive to play more music... using an adapter.

I just looked at the H3 on Amazon and it says this...

Multiple Connection Ways
Thanks to the built-in mini-USB On The Go (OTG) port, it can read tracks and data from OTG devices; under USB/DAC mode, the player can be used as a computer decoding amp; with the lineout port it can be connected with amp like car stereo and home audio.

It seems like a very nice DAP.


This is my Cayin N3 using the OTG function. That is a regular USB 256GB flash drive attached. This one uses USB C but you can also get adapters for micro USB.

Hello everyone,
Can someone please help me with the latest firmware for Ruizu A50?
Tried on the Baidu site but could not download it from there for various reasons: not able to create an account with an UK phone number, network errors or getting "Dear, Baidu network disk is being upgraded... Please forgive us for the inconvenience, we will come back later".
Maybe someone that already downloaded the files and can share it somehow.
I can PM my email address if someone on this forum is so kind to send that firmware to me.
Thank you.

Good day
I am looking for a inexpensive dap with line out so I can listen portable then plug into aux in the car. Am looking at the dodocool a106, Agptek h1 etc only thing about those is lack of firmware and age. anything else I should be looking at in this price range ? Many thanks

Might be worth picking up a Hidizs AP80. they recently finished their kickstarter but it looks like it might kill the Shanling M0 and Cayin N3 .

thank you GuywhoLikesHIFI i had not seen that player! looks to have awesome features, if not a little expensive for my needs. do you know any other alternatives? - failing that I may just save up and get one...

ok so the USB broke on another cheapo DAP i got from aliexpress. obviously the reviews on that site are all fake. this was after the headphone jack semi broke. all within a year or less, and hardly used it for a few months.

in this situation, i listen to most of my music in cars, so i am trying to think of what i should buy to replace it. maybe a usb stick.

the best value for cost i know of is my rockbox. i dont have a smart phone.

 

[bobbypete]

specifically this POS broke after less than 1 year use.

Get a Benjie K3. I have one and I've been using it for quite a while. Only thing is that it has a 260mah battery, quite small for car use.

 

[GuywhoLikesHIFI]

Well down from it is the Shanling M0, a bit cheaper, then the Xduoo x3ii, or perhaps the Hidizs AP60 version 2.

 

[khaosengine]

awesome thanks again GuywhoLikesHIFI. am torn between the ap60ii and the new ap80. quite like the size of the ap60. hence why i was looking at dodocool etc...
also, do you have a recommendation for something cheap and sounds decent. with a screen to easily view whats playing in a car for example. asking a lot i know lol coming from a sansa clip? around $30 or so. been looking at things like benjie x1, benjie k3? agptek? maybe you know something that has a more frequent firmware as those models are pretty old now? kind regards

I do have a Benjie K3 that I use as my daily DAP (patiently waiting for my AP80 to arrive ) , but all of the Benjie models sound roughly the same. I've also briefly listened to the Benjie X3/m28, and the Benjie X1. The screens were visable, the K3 can be pretty hard to see in strong daylight. Try this maybe? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/201...lgo_pvid=b548231b-5b29-4b1e-8044-09f4d104dd65
