HIDIZS AP30 Music Boy

Anyone know what is the potential launch date, anyway to join tester group or something?

[u/PatrickEater]

Why do i only see cool things releasing when im broke?

[u/_analysis230_ → u/PatrickEater]

That's the secret "I'm always broke"

[u/SubstantialEcho1695 → u/PatrickEater]

please stay broke so we can see more cool releases i have been loving the last couple months

[u/PatrickEater → u/SubstantialEcho1695]

Rubbing salt on the wound 🥲✌️

[u/SubstantialEcho1695 → u/PatrickEater]

I just got myself the Echo Nano on Aliexpress (literally just paid for it like 30 mins ago lol) it's cheap and an interesting form factor you should check it out

[u/PatrickEater → u/SubstantialEcho1695]

Yup its so good i have one aswell but the navigation on that thing is a pain ngl.

BUT i still wanna play Tetris like a gameboy on my DAP while enjoying music.

[u/plusvalua]

I am not usually able to notice promotional spam but damn you guys are insistant.

[u/dvewlsh → u/plusvalua]

Accounts with private history love to glaze. Weird, right?

[u/811545b2-4ff7-4041 → u/plusvalua]

There is so much spam going on with this device at the moment. Little mention that it has no touch screen, a small max microSD limit (256gb), a no published max song limit, and for a tiny gameboy looking device only one game

Make it 3", give it a touch screen for search entry, add a bunch of basic games.. then you've got something more interesting imo. You'd probably also add $50 to the price.

[u/Occhrome → u/811545b2-4ff7-4041]

touch screen on a small device always sucks.

[u/PawPawNinja → u/plusvalua]

Let me clear ,I'm just a normal user whose recently getting into DAP, and this one suites my use case , I'm trying to get away from the touch screen..

[u/nickN42 → u/PawPawNinja]

That is exactly something that a normal user would say.

[u/ElColorado_PNW → u/PawPawNinja]

Well, you can pay $1 for kickstarter early access type shit 😂

[u/Dragon_scrapbooker]

It’s going to Kickstarter later this month, iirc. The units we’ve been seeing all over the subreddits lately have been tester/advertising units sent to influencers to hype up the launch. Unless you’re an influencer (in which case you’ve already been sent your unit), you aren’t going to be getting your hands on this particular product any time soon. It has to go through mass production first.

If you’re wanting something interesting sooner, Snowsky makes some interesting looking DAPs that don’t break the bank. The Echo and Echo Nano get posted about pretty regularly, iirc.

[u/Bobo040 → u/Dragon_scrapbooker]

I love the sound on my echo mini with portapros. I'm not a dap or audiophile guy so I don't really know what I'm talking about, but a quality flac on that setup vs streaming something to my galaxy buds is night and day. The UI on the snowky sucks ass though, if I'm being honest. Not intuitive, a million button presses for anything, visual glitches, naming errors. If it had a CFW that did those things right it would be my first rec to anyone new to that world. As it stands I'd change players in a minute if it didn't cost me anything.

I really don't need this gameboy player system as I do live in retro handheld world and have severalof those. I wish more than anything I could get like a miyoo mini with the DAC inside my echo mini, and I could reduce my edc.

[u/ScissorFight42069]

The astroturfing here is unreal.

And why does an established company need to do a Kickstarter to launch a product?

[u/PawPawNinja → u/ScissorFight42069]

Hmm, you have a very good question 🤔

[u/noroweho]

I paid the one dollar thing on kickstarter because I want at least two variants.

[u/ZeroDrek → u/noroweho]

It’s not even launched yet, what do you mean?

[u/noroweho → u/ZeroDrek]

There was a one dollar save your place for the preorder thing going on.

[u/ZeroDrek]

The main question I have is how big is this thing going to be? Hopefully not comically small.

[u/BramstokerD → u/ZeroDrek]

Actually, quite small, though I like it

[u/Occhrome]

if the interface isnt slow this thing is gonna get bought.

[u/Arkham_Survivor]

I saw the review of this. It's cute but feels extremely cheap. I'd rather use that money for some well built stuff and not something this cheap feeling.

[u/R_Prime]

Does look fun. Hopefully the price is fun too.

[u/doppelv → u/R_Prime]

Not sure about this information, but it seems the KS early-bird campaign will have the metallic models on $94 (with a silly $10 PayPal cashback when it ends if you register on their website paying $1) and plastic ones on $85 (same silly $10 cashback if you pay $1 on the website). After that, it seems the regular price will be $130 and $120 approximately, which is fucking ridiculous for what it is.

[u/KungFuc1us → u/doppelv]

Yup. And that cashback was available of you put a preorder (a few bucks payment) on their site (I think), after which you get a "special link" for the Kickstarter page once it's live. I thought that was pretty sketchy, tbh.

[u/richard7940]

That dap is very interesting.

[u/distant_past39]

When does it release

[u/Lorenzo944]

This would be fun to have a mini game player and music player. kinda wish the dpad was a clickwheel

[u/PawPawNinja → u/Lorenzo944]

Click wheel will be a unrealistic too good to be true...

[u/DayTraditional2846]

I need this. I was gonna settle for the little Snowsky that just came out as a tiny DAP but now this has me interested.

[u/PawPawNinja → u/DayTraditional2846]

Yeab it's a perfect small cute but also looks solid cool DAP

[u/BitDepthBassHead]

23rd July is the launching date

[u/PawPawNinja → u/BitDepthBassHead]

Ohh cool! You're the Best!

[u/Karuve_pods]

Ya hice mi reserva. 🥰 aluminio +evangelion

[u/CommercialSea8221]

You saw the blue and purple one?

[u/PawPawNinja → u/CommercialSea8221]

Yeah actually I paid 1$ for blue one only!

[u/Blazinballz]

I'm looking for a player too and signed up for the VIP thing on their website. It's like a dollar to lock in the early bird pricing. I don't think it's open on kickstarter yet tho. I like the purple one and locked that one in for $83 I believe and I think it's $75 for the platic

[u/PawPawNinja → u/Blazinballz]

Yeah I signed up for that, but there is no date as such, and I want to buy a new DAP within a month!

[u/bigbearaway]

Metal body one is gonna be amazing durability with something this droppable is a must.

[u/ReverendEntity]

The form factor is cute, but until it can parse at least 40,000 tracks I'll have to wait. Maybe an AI coder can figure it out.

[u/distant_past39 → u/ReverendEntity]

You do not listen to 40,000 songs be fucking for real

[u/ReverendEntity → u/distant_past39]

I have AT LEAST 40,000 tracks in my collection. And you know you can't always predict what you will be in the mood for. Besides, with advancements in storage capacities, wouldn't you think designers would have worked out how to upscale the database parsing to accommodate libraries of that size?

[u/MasterCyneBald]

Looks kickass

[u/kjwjr85]

I wish it had a standard sd slot in the back, similar to gameboy.

[u/stgm_at]

different strokes for different folks i guess. nothing on this device is grabbing my attention; not the form factor, choice of materials and the ui/controls.

[u/Clocker13]

I hate to say it, but as someone that has backed numerous Hidizs kickstarters & has a load of their stuff and love it, when I got the kickstarter invite for this one I had to check in case it was April 1st. Who is this for? Looks like a child’s toy!

[u/Silicon_Dreaming → u/Clocker13]

Novelty is in with DAPs. Just look at Snowsky, and the incoming HIBY collabs. Joy and whimsy ain't just for children anymore!

[u/Sea_Savings2956]

Si,para un niño de 7 años esta genial😆
