Unboxing the Hidizs AP80 Digital Audio Player

Unboxing the Hidizs AP80 Digital Audio Player

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I received the Hidizs AP80 Digital Audio Player from their [kickstarter campaign](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/873263862/hidizs-ap80-next-generation-ultraportable-hifi-mus). After that, I received a tracking number which is of no use because of course, I already have the unit here and it shows as “Delivered”, so it came as a surprise and was shipped by Amazon since they fullfill US orders from them.

So, here’s my unboxing video that I recorded of this tiny (smaller than I expected) audio player. Enjoy!

Opus GUI v1.4 released!

Opus GUI v1.4 released!

Hi everyone, Today, I’ve released v1.4 of Opus GUI: This version is actually a bug fix that the software had for some time with no reports of it, and it was a silly bug. It didn’t allowed you to specify a bitrate higher than 100kbit/s. Now, with that fixed, you can encode files up to 320kbit/s. Yay! You can download this new release at GitHub here: https://github.com/moisesmcardona/opus_gui/releases/tag/v1.4 Enjoy! Post Views: 6

Announcing rav1e GUI v1.3

Announcing rav1e GUI v1.3

Hi everyone, I have released rav1e GUI v1.3: This new version adds the new min-keyframe argument to the GUI as well as making the existing keyframe be the max keyframe interval. This means you can now specify a number of frames to be the minimum and maximum keyframe interval and rav1e will make keyframes according to these specified numbers. If you’d like to just use a single keyframe interval, you can specify the same number in the minimum and maximum…
