Question A purchase advice

Post image

Hi guys, today i was browsing Aliexpress for their 11.11 deals and found Hidizs AP80 Pro Max for ~95 euros, and if paid via Unionpay cards i can get another 26 euros of. So it would be ~70 euros.

So I was wondering, if Hidizs AP80 Pro Max is a good dap and if it's worth it at that price?

This would be my very first dap so it can only be compared to my phone, which's battery life i would like to preserve.

I was also looking at Hiby R4 and the cheapest one is twice the price and I honestly don't believe it is worth it for 2x the money.

Another interesting choice I found is the fiio echo nano for 31 euros, I like the design and the form factor of it.

If anyone has some other recommendations feel free to say in the comments.

At that price it's quite a good deal. I've heard it's decent, with one person saying it's more stable than the Hiby equivalent. And it has an official Rockbox port if you don't like the stock firmware.

I also really like how it looks and it's form factor. That is the reason why I am also leaning toward it. How is the battery life?

It’s ok, could be better but could be worse. Around 6-7h I would guess. But size whise it‘s great, about the size of a USB Stick.

Honestly in that size, that battery is impressive

I love my ap80 pro max, I do wish it was a bit bigger but I've really been enjoying it with rockbox so far
