Some of us care enough to bring back the 3.5mm headphone jack. HiFi enthusiasts like me despise bluetooth, and USB-C audio headphones or adapters are low quality trash too.
Ideally there would be zero bluetooth support and this would be catered to the HIFI crowd, with only 3.5mm jack supported.
At least until we get a HIFI successor to bluetooth.
I brings back the headphone jack and high quality analog audio for those of us who care enough.
Good to know, thank you for sharing your experience! I may go with a different device and install Rockbox instead.
This is analog in the sense that it has a Digital to Analog "Cirrus Logic WM8523 DAC"converter and a 3.5mm headphone jack, so does indeed enable analog if you use a wired headphone, and it is absolutely a step in the right direction over shitty bluetooth quality audio.
I discovered Digital-to-Analog converters and vacuum tubes during the pandemic, replaced my whole setup for headphones and speakers after discovering Schiit Audio.
I do too, but the keyboard sells this for me. The split spacebar, customizable key layout, and mechanical keyboard is what I'm most interested in over anything else.
Thanks for this! I didn't know about Rockbox before.
Yeah I'm pretty excited about that, even if the layout is a bit wonky and the key sizes are a one-off (the left and right most fat "1u" keys look more like 1.25u so it might be a bit hard to get a custom keycap set going for it.
Ha those were fun! I had one and it became the dedicated Pandora music player for the kitchen for a few years.
As a new linux user I was overwhelmed by plasma and all the choices. I much prefer an OS and DE that feels like it isn't there and gets out of my way. It was all a bit too distracting, so I went back to Gnome like DEs (Cinnamon and now Cosmic).
Something like your suggestion, with basic settings first and then a deeper layer or toggle for advanced settings would have kept me on the platform longer.
Yeah makes sense.
I guess I'm wanting Tangara to cater to the HIFI crowd, and add more HIFI capabilities, file support, something to compete with devices like these: https://slrpnk.net/post/17871660/13529567
Which isn't mutually exclusive with having WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity.
