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!
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: 2
