then you can write us some review thats great

If you're aiming high why not try hifiman 801 or ibasso dx100

My aim high here is to fully utilize the money have ~

With dx100 you got dac, amp, media player all in one box

Hehe...I'll try.

I've had the HM-601 for a short time. My experience with it is, that I paid a huge sum of money for something that is essentially a dedicated music box. It lets you handle the music but what it does best it presents it to you beautifully. That's the thing, it only presents music, they do quite poorly being practical. The Ibasso has a very big screen, lots of connectivity, lots of codec support, but big size, heavy weight, low music playback time and some reports that the sound isn't up to expectations (although very good) considering the price. Then again, I haven't tried one, but with that price I'd rather have a custom IEM or a decent rig set up at home.

The HM-801, or even the 601 is the same thing. Beautiful music, but the software is like a piece of very thin sheet of glass. You'd have to be very careful or else, you'd have to restart the player, re-store every file you have in the memory card, or re-install the firmware. Let's not talk abut the big size. I had fun with the 601, but I learned the hard way (but very eye-opening) that reliability, the peace of mind of not having such a fragile firmware and one's definition of 'portability' is a must have consideration, when price is nothing.

My best PMP yet is the Teclast T51. Has a balanced mixture of great form, reasonable price, great sound and decent usability. In terms of sound quality alone however, it is still the HM-601.

Think I'm gonna let go my Rocco-P and aiming for Rocco Studio-V. Hmmm...

size wise thinner than the iPod+clas+amp
never tried any other portable aside from iPods

I'd still settle for home-ridden rig atm

Still pretty thick though, and it's 1mm thicker than the HM-601 I had, and putting it in and taking it out of a jeans pocket is a bit of a hassle. No doubt that the DX100 would be able to handle those hard to drive headphones with the power it can supply. Oh god now I have this sudden urge to try it out....this fantasy about how it will sound....this...this urge to....YOU'VE POISONED ME!

This is your trick isn't it?

there's abundance review of the dx100, the software bug is known to many
but still people went for it i wonder why
your siggy, do more with less.. stacked equipment

Maybe they thought they could live with the bugs.
Yeah....do more with less. I want to be an automotive engineer, and I believe that to move forward in the industry that is what must be done. That's why I don't like hybrid vehicles (pfft, adding a motor to help another motor ). Also can be applied to audio engineering. I believe that makers should try and make as less ports as possible for portable players (come on, adaptors were made for a reason, and possibly a mechanical switch or something to switch between pure lineout and heaphone out while using the same 3.5mm port?), and also develop less drivers that can still fulfill the advantage of multi-drivers (I mean, really, we only have a pair of eardrums and we can still complain about multi-driver IEMs having less this, too much that, etc.). Don't wanna get much into that, it'll be off topic.

Hello guys! I'm a beginner in this audio business
Currently looking for a DAP with this requirement

file format: mp3, FLAC(dont even know what it is. most people keep saying FLAC is better than mp3 xD)
expendable:optional
budget: <rm200
optional requirement: heavy/good bass, small size

before this i'm using ipod shuffle. I'm gonna get ATH Pro5Mk2 DJ soon from Jaben

I've read around about sansa zune, clip+, x19hd and c30 but still cant decide which one fits the requirement as I never get ahold of all 4 models.. Kindly advice please

My experience with c30 is not nice man~ its down with less than 1 week usage~ and the seller tell me the cube are not consistent in their production so i am 1 of the victim~ but it does provide a very good sounding~ other i dunno~ hope this information can help you ;D

you didnt get refund or something? Hey, it helps a lot!
most of people around me(not pros, simply end user) suggest me to get zune with rockbox(i dont even know what it is)

you can also try clip+ with rockbox also, cheaper than zune, sd expandable.

rockbox is like a open source firmware for the players that are supported, with very extensive functions that can improve the usability and longer battery life cause no bull shit eye candy included, all like plain text

EDITED:

file format: FLAC
expendable:optional, yes = bonus
budget: max rm300
optional requirement: heavy/good bass, small size(portable)

using ATH Pro 5 MK 2 + Hippo cricri+

File Format: FLAC
High capacity!!! ( above 100gb)
budget : 1-1.5k

Rocoo Studio-V (Can play flac)
80 hrs of operating hours
Internal 4 GB
External said can support up to 64gb, just use Class 4 more than enough
Capacity > SQ or SQ > Capacity?

Cowon X7. Available in 120GB and 160GB.

where can i try it out before buying lol..

I have no idea, and the X7 isn't exactly high tech either. Resistive touch screen that isn't accurate, read about it being a bit laggy, limited video codec support (no problem if audio is your priority), and some firmware bugs as well. Not to mention only barely pocketable and very heavy (over 200g). A mixed bag of reviews really. Others say its UI is customizable to the point of not being that annoying anymore, not steep of a learning curve, easy to get used to, literally days of playback time, and after calibration the touch screen can be quite accurate, and lag isn't all that bad. Other than that its SQ is highly commended. I think what I would do is, search for a forummer here who is selling it (I know of only one, MrJinggles), ask if they have any X7 in stock, and ask for a test run.

There is also another option, which is the Ipod Classic, but it cannot play FLAC, but ALAC (Apple lossless). I don't know of any other PMP that has that large a capacity.
