A look at the Snowsky Retro Nano

So after being preeetty sure that Sony was fucking with the earphones I had bought like 3 years ago (the signal kept cutting out even when running in AAC and connection priority) I'd had enough and wanted an alternative.

I had a pair of Crinear Daybreaks that I'd bought to use with my Hiby R4 but had stopped using cause it's a brick and I thought to myself well why don't I get a DAC to use with my devices that also has Bluetooth support. After looking around I pulled the trigger on a Snowsky Retro Nano.

It supports the Bluetooth codec I needed the most which is LDAC and has support for on device EQ profiles (to to 3). It has a 4.4mm balanced output and a 3.5mm jack accordingly as well as USB C. With the USB C, you can either just charge or you can set it to auto power on when, it receives power so it's perfect for a car! You can also use it as an audio out via USB if you wanna use it as a DAC. Oh. And did I mention it has a REPLACEABLE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY?!

After getting it setup in the app and saving my EQ profile on the device I was set. It just works! The quality of LDAC is way better than anything else and the signal strength is amazing!! No more cutting out! I've paired it to my laptop which is using Linux and it all just works!

I have my own music server which I can stream high quality FLAC files from any device and they sounds great considering it's Bluetooth!

If you're a music nerd 10/10 would recommend!

Also, if you're wondering the little tape spool does get bigger/smaller accordingly as the song progresses!

My Innoasis Y1 managed to unclip itself from my laptop bag without me noticing, which is very annoying - especially since I went through the trouble of opening the thing to replace the dodgy microSD card.

As much as I enjoyed the click wheel on it, I found it too quiet and a little buggy.

I originally considered the Snowsky Echo Mini and went with the more premium version of that, the Echo. It arrived today, together with the matching leatherette case.

Look at this thing!

Also... oops, all Millennial Green, featuring my Kobo Sage.

"This will make a fine addition to my collection!" - General Grievous talking about his Digital Media Player collection probably

I'm getting kinda sick of streaming lately, what with all this A*I bullshit and weird war drone funding stuff that Spotify is puking out suddenly. I am not exactly thrilled that that was where my subscription fee was going.

So I took the plunge and decided to try and upgrade my current mp3 player - unfortunately that little Philips GoGear fella doesn't have much space, nor does it have any ability to expand said storage. It's a shame, I really love it, and I'll be using it as a music player for my car's stereo system once I've passed my driving test - but for now, I needed to get my hands on something with more oomph, so to speak. Something that had the space for my dozens of CDs, along with the ability to upgrade my storage. Trouble was, everywhere I looked was very expensive.

That was, until I found something on Vinted barely used for a tight 55 quid that I snapped up right away. Something that, until then, had been difficult to track down. It arrived yesterday, and here it is:

This is the Snowsky/Fiio Echo Mini, and DEAR GOD I love it so much. It's small, yes - but my word, does it pack a punch. This thing is incredible. So far I've got over 1000 tracks onto it without any issues whatsoever.

AND IT PLAYS FLACS!!!! For those of you who don't know, FLACs are the top dog of audio files. A lot less compression than mp3s, which leads to a better sound quality overall.

Another bonus was that because it was preowned, there was the chance that someone had already loaded music onto it, and load it they did.

Some of it was... questionable at best - ironic comedy which wasn't really my thing... but the majority of it was stuff i'd been looking for FOREVER. Radiohead's entire discography, SOAD's entire discography, a bunch of early Beatles demos and rarities, some Rolling Stones demos and rarities, special editions of albums from Eminem to Madness... it was a treasure trove and I ended up keeping most of it, but adding the obligatory Malice Mizer archives and aaaaaall of my Emo/Alternative records - plus some Rush.

I am not sponsored at all, but I cannot recommend this little thing enough if you're thinking of moving to physical media.

this photo's original caption when I put it on my instagram story was "Fuck. Yes." and I think that says everything really.

Can I ask why people hate the ship Snowfall/Sky? They’re only a year apart in age, and idk they seem they’d be cute together? Am I missing something?
