Ive recently purchased a Fiio M6 player which runs on a simple version of Android, and is really a dedicated DAP with wifi and BT. Its really diddy at around 9cm short and weigh around 80grams or somesuch.
I found out today that the Roon apk file has been whitelisted for it and Roon for android runs pretty sweetly on it
very cool. Have you played Roon through it? I have the Astell&Kern SR15 which is supposedly getting official support vs the open APK method so I’m waiting a bit longer before trying …
ok yes it’s working now in fact; just testing it for you
i don’t usually play (Roon) through Android devices as there’s some jiggery pokery limitations with bitrates and such; they don’t play via the dedicated dacsnstuff or somesuch witchcraft.
but it’s working. Not glitching.
I had to add the apk myself to this fiio device and run it from file manager; no google play on there
It’s just really weird having a diddy little version of roon running on a 3 inch screen, lol
Android devices, like old phones, make great mobile endpoints for use with headphones. Not necessarily HiRes, but good enough for garden work with earbuds.
