Venant de chez FiiO, le Snowsky Retro Nano est un petit convertisseur et récepteur Bluetooth de poche conçu pour alimenter une paire d'écouteurs ou un casque ou encore pour servir de DAC-USB. Doté d'un afficheur, il prend le look délicieusement rétro d'une cassette audio. Mais il s'agit d'un appareil tout à fait moderne dans sa conception. Il comprend les codecs Bluetooth AptX HD et LDAC. Équipé d'une prise d'entrée numérique USB-C, il utilise par ailleurs un double DAC CS43131 de type 32 bits/384 kHz, compatible DSD256. Le prix du Snowsky Retro Nano est de 60 $.

The Snowsky Retro Nano is a headphone amplifier and DAC which sets a new performance level for the price.
A 3.5mm headphone socket is joined by a balanced 4.4mm socket for audiophiles who want to get the best from their high-quality headphones too.
You can use the Snowsky Retro Nano wirelessly in your pocket or via a lanyard and the physical controls recreate memories of 90's cassette players as does the animated screen which starts to move as you play a track.
Simply start an album from your smartphone and let the Snowsky Nano do the rest from volume control to track selection. And yes, it even lets you take calls thanks to a built-in mic and features full app control via the FiiO Control app on Android or iOS.
A 3.7v 10440 removable, rechargable battery can be charged via USB-C and adds to the retro feel of personal cassette players of the past but the Snowsky Retro Nano weighs just 28g inc battery...
