    The idea is great of a Linux-powered DAP is brilliant; if there’s one letdown with 80% of all DAPs, it’s the clunky software and UX. However, the device itself looks ghastly IMO.

    Edit: I thought the software could be customised due to it being Linux and whatnot. It doesn’t seem to be.

      I think the Linux thing is pretty common in this area, actually… For example, a lot of Hiby’s cheaper players that aren’t on Android also use plain Linux 4.4 under the hood, I believe

      What are you talking about that thing looks adorable?

      Would look cute dangling from a bag/purse or something.

      Honestly my big hangup is trying to justify a dedicated player when a decent DAC can be had for as cheap as like $50

        I think it looks way too childish, even for one of those retro handhelds. I just don’t get why it needs to look like a Game Boy (which it doesn’t really, if anything it looks like a Pokémon Mini).

        Maybe I’m just too much of a manly man to enjoy such things, idk.

          I get it. Ive never like how everything now (cars, houses, devices) are ALL: SILVER. SILVER. SILVER. BLACK. SILVER.

          I’ll go back to beige any day.

          Looks its not my fault you neither want to be cute nor whimsical, lol.

          If I had a use for it I’d try to get one color matched to some good nail polish, maybe print out a custom case to match it with my portable meshcore node too.
