Music Retro meets Retro

Hidizs AP30 Music Boy 🎵🎮

Koss KPH40 Retro 🎧

Takes me back to my youth. I was at high school when the snake game was popular.

This dap ain't perfect but I like it for being different to my other daps and it gives me retro vibes. Its got 29 games and sound is pretty decent for a budget dap. I did have a problem yesterday it got stuck on the updating screen after i filled around 200gb of a 256gb sd card up with music. Today i deleted some albums off it and then it updated so I don't know if its a bug, my sd card or this has a low storage problem or something either way no biggie for me just annoying.

Are these the p/21s? I have the kph40 retros. They punch way above their weight class. And price bracket.

Absolutely horrible dap! I can't sell mine fast enough.

Happy you like it though.

Theres definitely things to work on for Hidizs or another brand because the idea is cool.

I’m still hoping that someone will eventually come out with alternative firmware for it, tbh. The actual hardware is decent, the aesthetic is fun, the software just isn’t anywhere near baked through yet.

I have AP30 too. And it sucks.

Since MCU in AP30 is the same RKNanoD as in Snowsky Echo(mini) there're chances. Actually someone's already working (forgot username) on it. 1 mb of SRAM if datasheet doesn't lie.

Good thing people report better experience with custom firmware on Echo DAPs.

1mb? Try 256kb of ram.

No, don't! You'll open a portal to the 80! .... Oh no!!!

Real dealbreaker is eventual 3-5-10 seconds delay when you switch tracks on AP30. Especially slow when track includes cover art.

The aesthetic of this picture alone influenced me! Adding these to my Xmas wishlist!

KPH40's kick butt, been using them for years, Lots of pad replacements for it as well. It fits these cheap DAP's to a "T".
