The Teclast X19HD is a new addition to the Teclast line of DAP Products.

very interesting lipstick / gumstick form factor
Attached Image

Specs:
8GB internal memory
MAX9723 OPAMP
Output Power of 50mw (THD distortion at 1%, 32-ohm load case) [compared to Clip+'s 15mw, ref: http://nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/sansa-clip-measured.html]
FM radio
MP3, WMA, WAV, APE, and FLAC supported
SRS Audio Support
Support TTS voice reading function

and the part i find most interesting other than the high output power is:

^Hardware Bass Boost

Head-fi discussion thread:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/578330/teclast-x19hd-now-available

one of the first review, from the headfi thread:
QUOTE
I'm still burning it in..

Playing around with the settings -
High gain / mid volume - don't get the dynamics
High gain/ high volume - the sibliance gets alittle to spicy.
EQ is quite pathetic but i made it flat..

SRS/Bassboost effect sounds.. natural not too artifical and flat.
Clarity is better than Clip+ and leaning towards the more neutral side.

The low gain, no EQ, no bassboost with a C&C XO2 is quite nice though..
Its very clean and non grainy and i believe given some time it'll open up after some burning in.

this player has potential!

It edges out the clip+ in terms of power, I thought the Clip had loads of power, this little guy on high gain can really drive dynamics iems really well
you can immediately feel the extra juice with the dynamics it presents.
Sound character wise, it gave more depth (from the power) and also more texture (from a newer SOC DAC chip thingamajik ) with the added resolution.

Played Adele's album in flac and listened to it, and you can relax and get into the music.. something strangely the clip+ was lacking - clip+ was rather blend in a way.
To say that it is colored won't be accurate but to say that it's extremely neutral isn't correct.

I can't really put my finger on it cept that it just sounded good out of the box.
Allowed my friend to test some Kpop stuff on it, he was pleasantly suprized it can sound quite good.
Played some rave music too, and you get a good punch from the bass if you added the bass boost on it - tight can clean not bass farts.

UI wise I won't say it's the best but well for the price I'm not expecting much, in fact this is my throw around ultra portable rig for gym, commuting and general usage.
I pair it with my stock samsung IEM that came with my SGS2 - so I'm not really bothered if it spoils within a year.

Clip+ has the advantage of rockbox and a expandable memory slot but battery life isn't fantastic.
I'm wondering if this will give me a better battery life because I travel around quite a bit and do back packing, i don't have the luxury of lugging around a tiny novel.
I did a full charge at 10 pm.. and i'll keep it running till it goes flat.

This will fit well in my pocket for on the go listening and airplane rides..did i mention how small it is?
Just the size of 2 finger width..

SQ-wise i myself am not sure, all that i know is its definitely more powerful than c30. hippo gumstick with no published specs so i do not know. i'll get to try the x19hd this sat and thereafter i've gotta wait for my own unit to come.

tried out the Teclast X19HD after trying the LCD-3 and LCD-2. and i am very pleasantly surprised by it. while its not exactly neutral it still has a very energetic and fun signature. its definitely very power and it drove my mg6pro customs with much ease.

the UI for the x19HD is nothing to scream about, and i'm not expecting much from it.

1. power up
2. load music
3. play music
4. volume works
5. sounds good

is good enough already for me at this price point, can't ask for much more.

Hi,
First post here.
Is the x19hd already on sale? Please pm me if you know where to get it. Buyin online from hk or china will definitely be delayed due to Xmas shipping volume.

Heard good comments about this little player and it's time to replace my highly abused clip plus. I already have the t51 so the little brother shouldnt be that bad smile.gif

As if my T51 knows that it will have a little brother, it is starting to have its 'moods'. The left side can sometimes sound muffled and requires a tap near the jack to get it sound normal again. I think the T51 is biased towards the right now. The port might be faulty somehow.

had a bit of fun with the x19HD last night, and we were surprised that it can power the LCD-3 pretty nicely.

ultimate portable rig: x19hd -> LCD-3.

there are 2 types of volume (kinki labels) "super volume and HiFi volume, which i think is gain in another term
i tuned off bass boost and all those audio cosmetics, and attached to MS1i, and has very nice soundstage i never expect of MS1i, bass is decent with volume, vocals are very clear and i can listen to their words, treble is mild and just enough to be heard, no clipping and hisses, such gooding thumbup.gif

interface does look C30, but with their own spice of stuff

the setting menu has these "specials"
1. sound -> EQ menu and SRS menu
2. volume mode -> Super mode and HiFi mode
3. BassMax9723 (i suppose is BassBosst hardware config)

make sure you do, and after going back to my regular desktop, i can say x19HD sounds like cMoyBB, want a feel can start from there, but do note some variations of sound fx


Added on January 12, 2012, 3:10 pmand oh yeah, the price is below RM200 only, with a very good earbud


Added on January 12, 2012, 3:26 pmwow, the bass goes boom! (not boomy) when the music asks for it. hardware bass boost is very good, and need not software activation, but turning BassMax9723 on takes it to yet another level, the whole thing is godly! okay i must stop describing it, or else will be an SPM paper exam already

hehe i see that you are having a lot of fun with it.

try EQ all flat, but SRS settings all set at 60, width, center, focus. bass boost at 60hz.

BassMax9723 is hardware boost. it's quite fun and you can go damn loud without clipping.

How's the SQ, performance with stock earphone, battery life and ease of use between the X19HD and C30?

Thinking of buying either one as my first DAP, any feedback are welcomed, thanks in advance.

Stock earphone is stock earphone, but definitely better than ibuds.

battery life is around 22-23hrs, at least that's with my usage. not sure about the others.

UI-wise have to wait for other users to comment as i've not used the c30 before.

c30 and x19hd, i both have, so based on what i know:

c30 - 3 line display; x19hd - 4 line
c30 - less fancy functionality; x19hd - hardware bass boost, 2 gains
c30 - buggy firmware all over; x19hd - only minor annoyances, no bugs yet

Thanks for the replies hongrui and noobandroid, appreciate it.

I'm currently leaning over the X19HD for the battery life and bass boost (gotta kick it up sometimes), the only downside so far is the lack of msd card support although 8GB is plenty for my daily commute.

How's the bass boost effect?

since it is hardware boosted, hardly can hear any clipping or modification to the sound sig, just the bass got deeper and clearer. unlike c30's BBE, it changes the sound sig quite a lot
x19hd also has srs, which means they can (attempt) to restore (some) sound quality to bad recordings or poorly encoded media files

My noob review on X19HD. (first time getting DAP lol) blush.gif

First of all the looks, never expected to be this small. manage to get used the control in short time, easy to navigate.
SRS setting really surprise me, it can adjust the width, center, focus, trubass, definition, focus, limiter.
Although i'm not really familiar with those, playing with it really fun. Anyway i prefer SRS off, HiFi mode, and BassMax ON.
The stock earphone is pretty decent and i'm still burning it, after first 24hours the earphone is pretty nice to heard.

*i've few friends want to order soon or later icon_rolleyes.gif

play time is about 22hours with FLAC.

any body else can confirm this? I've just added 2GB worth of lossless ALACs but the x19hd isn't able to read.
is it m4a but lossy encodings only?

Burn in is where you get the component to "loosen up". Get it conditioned to its working conditions, possibly unlocking its full potential. I only believe in burn-in/run-in for mechanical stuff like headphones, earphones, engines. Some say that capacitors do have a tendency to change after some use so it may perform better over a period of time of use.
