Still no DAC support for Pocket 😭

Right, at this point any answer to this question is essentially just guessing.

But since we’re just guessing… looking into the future of Analogue, 4k editions of their previous products do seem feasible I think. But I mean this is just a hope. I have no idea.

But yeah, the retroUSB AVS is a well regarded competitor to the Analogue Nt/Nt mini line, so it is worth consideration

Analogue has directly stated that the 3D will not support openFPGA 😭

Does Analogue3D support openFPGA? openFPGA is not supported on 3D.

Thank you for sharing!

The product is impressive, and cheaper than I was expecting. I love the look of the controller too.

However… the DAC… well I think it’s RIP. i don’t think I can give Analogue any more money considering this :(

I opened the cartridge and used 99% IPA and a few cotton swabs to clean the cartridge contacts. Nothing super significant though, the contacts seemed pretty clean. Then I took an air duster and gave the whole cartridge a significant blasting, but really it looked completely dust free as far as I could tell. then I also replaced the battery with a new one.

As for the console, I was much more gentle with it. Basically just blasted it heavily with the electric air duster. Tried to get in all the nooks and crannies. Again it looked pretty clean really (but the external chassis of the Nt mini definitely needed a good wipe too, it was somewhat dusty)

Filled out a support request email from krikzz, but haven’t heard back yet. I think the cartridge is definitely dead, so we’ll see what he says

These look great! But I am pretty irritated about DAC support for the Pocket (and Duo) still not being available πŸ˜”

I’m kinda torn on this. On one hand, it looks totally sick, I love the look/feel of aluminum and I love my Nt mini Noir. But being handheld kinda makes this more awkward? The weight and feel of the aluminum might be strange. But more than anything else, I’m just really unhappy about the DAC support for the Pocket. It’s so long overdue. I’m unhappy with the showing of Analogue’s priorities here.

I don’t have a Duo, but this probably helps? Is it known to have some noise issues?
