i read the description says it can be use as an ebook reader? how do u do so with such little screen

You use a hi-powered magnifying glass or you squint very hard. Ideally you shouldn't believe everything you read. Rumour also has it that you can scavenge parts from the Cube C30 to build a space station. Then again I don't trust much in rumours.

well it stated in the first post. Only then i saw TTS Voice reading

Yes it can read out text for you. I've only heard it read out the Mandarin stuff. No idea if does English as well. For the asking price of a very modest RM170 I am quite surprised that lots of folks seems quite demanding of the C30's capabilities. We get peeps asking if it can drive high impedance cans. My understanding is that some high impedance cans can cost more than RM1K. Now why on earth would someone want a RM170 DAP to drive a RM3K headphone?!!

I think its better to make it known right here & now that the C30 doesnt have a built-in GPS cos I'm quite sure someone is bound to come in and ask this sooner or later.

hahaha. If want all in one gadget get iphone 5, can x-ray ur body, can shoot out bullet, can use to fry egg on its screen.

... i was confused reading the description stating "eBook reader" but the c30 picture doesn't seem to be fit with description.
i didn't realize it was voice reading ebook reader ; 1 phrase i mean.
not that i want to hear robotic voice telling bedtime story so much thx for d xplanation .

Hi, is there a way to fine tune the volume on the cube?

On some songs its too loud even on vol 1 (quiet room, VIVA2)

Too loud is a good thing.... means the Cube C30 has loads of 'pushing power'.
That's why the C30 is known as a powerful DAP!
vol 1 in quiet room on VIVA2 is still too loud for you? w0w! unbelievable!!! Maybe you should consult an ENT specialist, you could be having perforated eardrums...... or some kind of hearing abnormality. good luck!

i think its great to have tts reader for a cheap mp3 player. but those who tried, is it robotic sounding? just want to know

haha. dunno if there is any way to tune it down.

but hey, no one complain gumstick too loud before lei... but we just had one with cube c30.

Lol. Just on some songs only its too loud. It's probably like 2-3 steps above of the normal listening level. Oh well.

all units that i sold so far no problem like what u complaint getting louder n louder, u can try resetting it see how.

I know what the problem is already. I was using another (lousy) earphone which requires me to turn up the volume quite high for normal listening. Then I changed to HD381F which only needs me to on at volume 1-3 to listen comfortably.

hey guys...can find me any review bout comparison btw cube c30 vs gumstick ?
so lazy to search...

I've compared them. Without BBE they both sounded exactly the same, even volume wise.
Can't say how they fare against harder to driver headphones/earphones though.

It's at the very first post of this thread. Not much of a search anyway. Cube C30 Impression by ClieOS. Almost for all criteria mentioned, he gave a comparison to the Gumstick.

I could give a summary, but I'm lazy myself.

P/s: I think this wasn't mentioned in the review. The price for a C30 is much cheaper than Gumstick. At least that's what I get from my survey.

yes there are lots of comparisons between the gumstick and the C30 on the net but I'm too lazy to type so you will have to go find it for yourself.

Didn't get a chance to test my SR60i with the C30 or Gumstick.
It actually needs a fair bit more volume on a DAP to reach decent listening levels.
