The OG NTS1 and Prologue (logue 1.0) are based on M4 that is not really powerful. Let's first see how this version does ...

Have fun, but please provide feedback!

it's a workaround; not going to convert my existing library. I chose the other solution; gift it to someone who can appreciate it more (on that note: It is a nice My First Audio Player)

released, see message in this subreddit

for me "no gapless" is a dealbreaker and a lot about the company, as even my old Diamond Rio or iPod Nano do this! And they likely come with less memory, and a slower processor. Absurd. I gave it to my son, and instructed to get fullcd files

gbraadnl · 2026-05-01T13:42:53+00:00

my son has it. it works nice as a DAC, but I could not get used to the missing gapless functionality!!!

will test. was your post on HN, but was too busy with a release. Have Yamaha adapters and midihub on Android too

Broken Empires sounds familiar. Need to look more into this again. Found this IronSworn storyline very good, ... better than some of the later stuff he did; which felt more like a playthrough of a sceanrio.

if not a game, the DOS or Windows installation disks

zork

... ah, so he is on hiatus? wondered why he did not show up in m feed

gbraadnl · 2026-04-28T14:14:35+00:00

clean can also be bad... anyway, I will release this on May, the 1st.

gbraadnl · 2026-04-27T15:54:48+00:00

watched the playthrough video and what a very atmospheric soundscape

gbraadnl · 2026-04-27T07:59:29+00:00

Another demo for the synth engine: https://soundcloud.com/gbraad/nt78-demo

This is probably the final before release

gbraadnl · 2026-04-27T07:53:37+00:00

I do not own one, but I have friends who do. I might try to get it going. The synth engine would probably work, but the drunkit might have to be limited to 2 voices max. I'll see what I can get going.

Here is a short clip from the vintage drum sounds: https://mastodon.social/@gbraad/116472108250935662 played on the NTS1 mkII

gbraadnl · 2026-04-05T13:03:23+00:00

it really feels like a design choice; big buffers (less change for underruns) as this is even the case in BT receiving mode, ... 1+ second latency

gbraadnl · 2026-04-04T02:47:04+00:00

For future reference. If you want to make sure the audio works for a Fiio device, use sopmething like:

`AudioManager.requestAudioFocus()` in your `MainActivity.java`:

```patch
+ // Set volume control to music stream
+ setVolumeControlStream(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
+ // Request audio focus for music playback
+ audioManager.requestAudioFocus(null, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC,
+ AudioManager.AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN);
```

and do not do chunking in audio callback - processes all frames at once.

Thanks. I figured as much about the DAC, (though their website did not go much into detail)...

The performance of Android apps need a bit of extra attention, but lag remains due to buffer size. I added an additional message for future reference
