      Their translation is probably a bit off 😂

    • If you think that's random, you should check out the BLON BL-03, a meme in the community.

    I like evangelion but what am i looking at?

      android audio player

    • +15

      I was hesitant to post. This is a niche product. It's essentially a dedicated audio player like an iPod but with android and audiophile hardware and software. You can do eq and other filters to change the soundstage and sound of headphones or iems. It also has an sd card slot so it can hold way more than a modern phone that doesn't have an SD card slot.

        Enough space for all million flac track covers of ‘fly me to the moon’

      • Can it connect to something like tidal or spotify or is it purely for high bitrate audio you have in storage?

        • +3

          Well it's just like a phone with Android without the phone and with an SD card slot and 2 analog outs. It can do any streaming service available on Android. I personally use apple music because I have found it's the best quality for my favorite tracks. You can also install different players for local files like Poweramp, neutron or uapp. It's a very versatile device.

        Thanks for posting. I use a lot of Fiio gear and I'm not gain enough to share deals around here knowing what people are like. It's good to see this getting good feedback.

          Yeah I was prepared for downvotes and the whole "who needs a dap in 2024" but I think the Evangelion colab part helped with the acceptance lol

      • I was hesitant to post.

        Don't be. Though I wish I hadn't seen this one. I don't need another DAP but…

  • Do I need this? Do I really need this? I'm so tempted but I know I'll probably rarely use it!

    • Not really for most but it's a bit of a novelty and I love stuff like this. If you are an audiophile or just like audio players you should look into it. I think it was worth it for me because I had a dap beforehand that is getting old and I love this design.

    • I'm pondering the same thing.. I don't think my ears could really tell the difference in quality at this point in my life

    • Ask yourself one more time

    • I don't want to buy!

  • Can you install "Tidal" on this?

    • +2

      Yes. It's Android 12 so anything available on the play store or in a .apk format will work

    • Dw i read the info 🥲
      You can you install music steaming service.

    • I think tidal works on all newer Hiby DACs I have an older Hiby R2 and it has Tidal.

      • That uses hiby os. That has tidal and qobuz I assume. This is Android so it's very different

    tumbling down… tumbling down..

  • I use an android phone with an EQ app 'Wavelet' intead of a DAP.

    • Yeah that's a great option. I just like having a separate device that I can tinker with. I know many people still have a use for daps.

  • So if I'm wowed by Amazon music's quality and Atmos/360 audio using my phone and XM4s, will this thing sound better? I like the colours and Evangelion.

    • Hmm tough question. You might enjoy that it comes with system wide eq but i doubt the rest will have a noticable difference especially with wireless headphones and you could do eq with an android phone anyway with an audio player app or wavelet. Have you looked into audiophile stuff before? Or even just daps?

  • Shinji hospital scene but the {REDACTED} is my wallet

    That seems… super pricy for an Android-based media player that only has 15h of battery life, but at least on paper it seems that it has a decent DAC. I might've considered if I was a fan of Evangelion, but it looks like an interesting gadget that's more of a collectible

    • Yeah but there is so little competition this is probably one of the best value.

  • God's in his heaven all's right with the world

  • +1

    Product seems tempting. Price, not so much.

    • It's a good price for a dap but yeah it's not cheap.

  • this vs the Sony NWA-306?

    • They both have different benefits but it depends on what you need. The a306 has a longer battery life but the r4 has more software features like system wide eq, src bypass for bit perfect audio and balanced out.

  • +2

    charges using proprietary umbilical cable

    • It has USB-C?

      • I assume it's a joke? Idk

    • 5 minute battery life

  • +1

    This is so sex.

    I’m just not rich enough for an impulse buy like this.
