opps not no stock, is stop producing edi. I prefer clarity than bass.. not a bass head

in that case you might just purchase other brands la
hisound audio not bad mah~

dun la scare me

LOL~
personal experience bro~ not trying to scare away potential buyer~
there are many satisfied buyer~

maybe u unlucky...
i hope mine was no problem

2nd proof, mine died also.. battery cant even last 30 minutes usage now

Maybe thats the reason why they discontinued it?

Sold my C30 and got a Fuze.......fed up with the playback issues and frequent freeze

woah~ looks like i am not the only one whose facing problem with it~
would rather safe the money to pursue higher end pmp if i am given a second chance

Is Hippo Gumstick still in production? That thing lasted quite a long time in my hands. I don't remember exactly how long, but I'm sure it was more than 8 months, before I sold it.

ok... may I ask how to reduce it? with what software? cus I'm a newbie to this sort of things...

First, make sure it's not in 24 bit. That could be the problem as well as the C30 is a 16 bit player. If it's already in 16 bit, you can convert it using a simple software such as LameXP. I've never had to convert from lossless to lossless, so I don't know what software is the best for that (I only ever rip to FLAC from CD using Exact Audio Copy). I use LameXP to convert from lossless to lossy. I don't know what audio degradation (or if there is any) you would experience converting from lossless to lossless. Ask the software sifus here.

Damn it. Just noticed this thread and I'll get mine in few hours time... (via postage) Hopefully mine doesn't come with the problems you guys highlighted up there...

The set that I ordered comes with the stock IEM but I already have a pair of Audio Technica ATH-CKS90 to go with it.

So how long do I need to burn my C30 before enjoying it?

Well~ for me i enjoy it the very first moment use it
its a amazing PMP~
but i dunno how it will do further because mine broke down very fast~

Oh crap, that doesn't convince me at all.
Do you guys have any tips how to handle this thing to prolong its life span?
Man, I don't want to buy something and it spoils the next few days...

So how is it fruitie...has it broken yet?

I haven't received it yet.
Still waiting anxiously.

I looked back at my old sales thread. The C30 was 3 weeks old before it was sold. It was still very very functional showing no signs of going dead. You could be one of the lucky ones like me and many others.

PMP also need to burn-in?

Some believe that they sound a bit better after some time. I've never experienced it with my Sony B, Hippo Gumstick, Creative Mozaic, or Hifiman HM-601. Maybe those with tube and vacuum amps and HUGE capacitors might experience some changes.
