Press once. Scroll by one song once. Don't, err, browse by all songs if you have a decent collection.
This is my first DAP actually, but the sound quality seems to be pretty good. My ANC Sony Ult Wear headphones wired and off do also sound clearer, more natural and open (no fake sounding bass muddying everything else) with the Pop Eq on the device. Compared to having the headphones connected to my phone via Bluetooth.
There's no crash issues with the current firmware (v2.4.0) I've experienced, the Echo Mini has been dead on predictable in a way no Android phone could. However, it would load larger album images rather slowly, which would affect the wake up speed. There are tips out there about lowering the resolution of the album art to compensate, but I haven't done that just yet.
There are preset EQs you can select on it, as well as a custom fixed frequency slider EQ that you can tune to your liking. The base acoustics is a bit lacking on the low end, making it sound a tad bit flat there, but the Pop EQ option did fix that for me. Due to the simplicity of the cpu however, EQ only works for "Standard Quality" 16 bit depth FLAC, not for 24 bit if you are going for lossless.
Do note that I have only loaded up a 16GB SD card with mostly FLAC files, when they are 16 bit depth, so I haven't quite stressed it the same way some users have. I do know that it has a song limit of 8192, so do take that into account.
The battery is very good, a single charge has lasted me a whole day of listening with 2/4 bars left when I got home.
It can also function as a DAC if plugged into a phone/computer via the USB C port, but I haven't had the chance to try that out yet.
I took way too many hours just comparing the different colors when I was considering buying it, but I'm glad I did. Pink really is the best color out of the lineup.
Cons:
I literally RSDed myself out of deleting my Reddit account. All while intellectually understanding (from the very beginning) that it's emotion disregulation at work, and that no mod was really out to get me, nor cared, but that's just cause Reddit is such a big place they couldn't be sympathetic to and follow up on every post violation without burning themselves out.
I think the feeling of "all my friends hate me" can be a pretty vanilla ADHD experience too tbf. Although for the longest time before diagnosis, I thought that about my colleagues.
ADHD: The world is too noisy today and I can't focus on that important thing I need to do instead of some stupid hyperfixation for 14 hours.
AuDHD: The world is too noisy today and I need to get out of here and recuperate.
Well, think of it this way. If they look really pretty, with nice healthy lush fur. Would they really make good "dead animal" paid actors?
I think I might need to work the weekends where I'm heading right now.
Depends on how sleep deprived I am. It was about 30 min today.
Sometimes rain isn't a bad thing. The coolness and freshness of the air you'll feel right after a heavy downpour has always been so refreshing.
This whole memory deserves a post of it's own somewhere.
It's in a Cordoba paper cover, a pen loop fashioned out of washi tape, and bookmark ribbons, a lot of bookmark ribbons.
Hey all. I've noticed that @lemmy.cafe has defederated threads.com as well as threads.net.
While I wasn't able to see any info via threads.com from here, and I am new here, so it's very likely I had done something wrong there. Do you think it'll be a good idea to defederate that domain as well?
It sounded really good to me. But this is my first wired audio device in a very long time, so I'm not the best judge of that. It is very likely I just didn't like Sony's DSP.
Edit: I do know that the logic board is where they cheaped out to get to that price point, with most of the effort going into the DAC with 2 CS43131 chips. It has both a 3.5mm, and also a 4.4mm balanced headphone jack like most FIIO products out there recently.
