This post has been edited by The Amateur Working Bee: Jan 30 2012, 11:25 PM

more options are teclast x19HD, cube c30, hippo gumstick

it all dials down to what kinda interface u like, cause the 3 i said are "3 line text" interface

x19HD. small, light, 20+hrs battery life and it sounds good.

haha i beat u to the answer, trololol

wow reading up on you guys reviewing x19HD, does it really outperform sansa clip+ ?O.o

*havent take a look at the cube c30 & hippo gumstick, reading atm*

and btw, i didnt know your re-shelling involves choosing colors and artwork, shit lol i think u just got me back into the "poisoned" mode lol...its been a while ever since i get this feeling xD

Added on January 31, 2012, 1:14 amis it just me or cube30 & hippo gumstick looks the same O.o

Added on January 31, 2012, 2:27 amanother question would be

is the burn in REALLY necessary?


This post has been edited by The Amateur Working Bee: Jan 31 2012, 02:27 AM

c30 and gumstick are similar but different in amp grade, gumstick class A c30 class AB, burn in is a personal prospective

got a iriver t9 2 months ago and i was enjoying its stock earphone. then i bought shure se215 and i can only hear flat sound from that mp3 player but full blasting bass and stuffs from my samsung galaxy s2. so should i get an amp or a new mp3 instead? i prefer getting a new mp3 instead because i dont like my pocket being full of stuffs, but if an amp is necessary then i will have no choice.

memory: not an issue but bigger is better (i only keep my favourite songs anyway)
format: FLAC or ALAC? or any other better formats? I am new to this
battery life: above 15 hours would be good
budget: around 700

Are you trying to say:

Iriver + se215 = flat sound?
Galaxy s2 + se215 = full bass?

I'm pretty sure the s2 has got a weaker amp than the iriver. Did you EQ your s2?

If you want to keep the iriver, you can get an amp like .22 / .25 or RSA Predator.
otherwise, would recommend you the x19hd player, fun signature with big deep bass.

i tuned my s2 to automatic eq and max all settings in iriver eq

the iriver impedance output is 16ohm and my se215 required 20ohm, that is why i think

nothing to do with 16ohm or 20ohm.

so output impedance does not matter?

if you max all the settings in your iriver, i'd suggest that you just fix them all at 0. your player might be clipping like crazy.

your se215 is rated at 20ohms and your iriver output impedance is rated at 16 ohms. it doesn't matter.

zune hd is a great player. i wonder why the price went up like crazy ($326.99usd for 16GB)

i also like meizu m6 sq, awesome!!

Any type of player can record FM?

Mainly use for FM recording only.

Any suggestion?

Can recommend me cheapest@value DAP with line-out?

ipod or sony walkman can.. but need to buy LOD.

sony walkman which model?
how bout rocoo?

A, E, X, S Series can, all use same cable. Or simply said all Walkman® Video MP3 Player. Not the Walkman® MP3 Player.

Never try rocco.

y never try? coz rocoo is too gud? or too bad?

i got problem choosing between Sansa Clip Zip and cube c30..the price wise for sansa is RM 230 and c30 RM 160..the interface better on clip but c30 rumoured to be best budget player..
cant decide la..

anyone can help me to choose media player.. this one just for suka2 only..hehehehe.. any model that cheap and able to play as many format as it can! and must small and portable, lastly must worth to buy it!

Would recommend both the x19hd

I'm confuse between cube c30 or x19hd.
Cube c30 has micro sd slot, x19hd dont have.
Cube c30 is bundle with F1 pro earphone.
x19hd have better amp chip than c30.
Is x19hd only support chinese language?
Mostly I listen to alternative, acoustic and some rock music.
Which is the best for me?

x19hd supports english display among other languages.

Thanks for the info!
I think I'm getting x19hd coz it can sort out album,artist, etc.

guys, thinking of buying sansa clip+..the mp3 is for my mother..so need a mp3 that easy with buttons..

this one have to buy online right? can get any of sansa mp3 series local?

why not consider the simplistic cube c30 or x19hd, it goes like this press on-> play, thats it

but the display better on sansa clip+ for my mother right? sorry never bought a mp3 b4..

x19hd or cube c30 is not bad too.

Budget : <500RM.
Using : IEMs - UE 600vi
Listens to - Rock (Foo fighters, Kings of Leon, Jack Johnson and post-rock like Toe), Indie and Orchestras.
Formats - Mostly MP3, does not really matter.
Size - 16gb or more, if can expand even better.
If it helps, I want to use it for drumming as well, such as to listen while covering songs, etc.
Please recommend.

hi people,

Budget : <RM150 , the cheaper the better
Using : koss kcs75 - when its fixed XD
Listens to - Clubbing songs,kpop, mostly upbeat songs
Formats - Mostly MP3, does not really matter.
Size - I feel 1gb is enought = =

Usage : for jogging and work out , hence needs a somesort of clip if possible.

Please recommend.
Thank you.

Just checked on some models mentioned here , the only one with clip is sansa clip ?

Teclast x19HD

yep, the only one with the clip that i know of is the sansa clip.

Does this player have an expansion slot?
I did some thinking and I have concluded that I require 16gb or more.

Unfortunately, no expansion slot.

cube c30, expandable up to 32GB.

Guys just asking your opinion..
This model is good for me to go?
http://www.sony.lv/product/nws-s-series/nwz-s764

im looking for good mp3 with bluetooth build-in..wan pair with Jaybird ^^

Sony A865, Sony Z1060 android(releasing this month iinm), iPod Touch 4th gen also can support bluetooth too.

since my x19hd kena rendam water and rosak, my c30 battery died, need a new player, suggest me something with large capacity

LOL how large you want?
Apple got 160GB, Cowon got 160GB too

nvm the capacity, now looking on the minimalistic sansa clip+ and maybe a rockbox on it

Looking for a new DAP...

-Budget 100-250
-MicroSD mandatory
-FLAC mandatory
-more than 24H playback mandatory
-Rockbox mandatory
-Radio
-Must microUSB

other functions I dont care...no earphones oso no problem, no color screen oso no problem....

Currently asking for this https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry50316032 .....If price no good might be looking at Nokia X2-02 (but no flac)...

Those x19hd and C30 ok or not?

sansa clip+ or sansa clip zip,

battery life and servicing how ahh?? looks like it is running a small battery size...

sansa clip + can be rockboxed and after that lasts roughly 10 hours playback, clip zip no rockbox may have shorter play time

Added on April 6, 2012, 4:04 pmeither this or cube c30 / x19HD
C30 sound is cleaner compared to x19HD, X19HD has more power
C30 uses BBE, X19HD uses SRS
Both battery cycle also 10-12 hours

This post has been edited by noobandroid: Apr 6 2012, 04:04 PM

Guys I wanna ask which shop got sell Telecast X19HD and/or cube C30 besides online where can I get it? LYP got?

less likely, both stock are from on9 seller AFAIK

Looking for a good mobile player, decided to ditch my gen3 iPod touch for a more mobile/better SQ alternative.

Budget : 700-1k
Using : UE Triple.fi 10s
Music : Everything from acoustic and rock to pop and DnB.
- Multi format compatible(FLAC, if possible ALAC)
- Long battery life (15-20hr)
- Big memory capacity
- Onboard DAC/Amp

I can only think of HiFiMan 601/602.

Or maybe an old ipod 5/5.5th gen rockboxed and DIY hard disk upgrade.

Sanza players also can be rockboxed and then you can add on a 32gb microsd.

arent HiFiMan uber pricey?

Jaben has 601 for RM900.

Seems that the 602 big difference in pricing though at RM1550. It has USB DAC

I think buy direct from hifiman can have the 602 slightly cheaper but at the expense of local support, possible tax bomb, etc etc.

The 601 has barely 9 hours of battery-life. The SQ rating is good but everything else seems to be only about average? Any have a better recommendation? I'm going for a vacation soon so I'm hoping to decide and buy one for traveling by next week.

Perhaps Cowon J3? No ALAC support though. Website says 64hours music playback. Get the 32GB version and slot in another 32GB microsd.

I can live with 64Gb of music And ALAC is an optional requirement as I was using iPod for a long time and I converted most of my FLACs into ALACs so iTunes will read them. Guess it's time to re-extract all of my FLAC archive then, it's gonna be a long week.

At least you have back ups. All I have is ALACs. Will be a big headache for me to switch to non Apple Lossless players. Not to mention the possible loss of quality if re-encode to FLAC.

I think Cowon J3 32gb + 32gb microsd is going to set you back around RM1400.

This post has been edited by cyloh: Apr 11 2012, 04:24 PM

Well, MrJinggles has the J3 32gb for 1190, and I have an old 16gb Mircosd. Only problem is, his thread says 2 weeks for delivery....

Sanza clips, clip zip or fuze all accept microsd. 20 hours music playback IINM. Head-fi has good reviews on their sound signature, some even prefer it more than apple's.

C30 is another you can consider. 15 to 20 hours playback with microsd support too.

Or save yourself the headache and get the ipod classic 160gb Rated at 36 hours playback.

This post has been edited by cyloh: Apr 11 2012, 04:31 PM

That's the thing. I've had iPods for awhile now and they all sound, at best, average, not to mention it those apps are so distracting. So I'm looking for something plainly for music with a built in BBE, as all my iPods had SonicMax pro installed.

This post has been edited by RowanPaladin: Apr 11 2012, 06:36 PM

Does BBE make any difference on lossless music?

---

Is that app just an equalizer app?

This post has been edited by cyloh: Apr 11 2012, 04:46 PM

Not quite. Here's a quote from the app's FAQ regarding the question:

Equalizers manipulate sound by suppressing and boosting various points on the audio wavelength spectrum. SonicMax Pro doesn't distort the spectrum-it keeps it aligned. Because of impedance and power restraints, most speakers (earbuds, earphones and docks included) tend to delay the high frequencies, causing the mid and low parts of the audio to reach your ears first-out of sync with the high frequencies-resulting in sound that is muddy and unfocused. SonicMax delays the mid and low frequencies so that all the sound (low, mid and high) hits your ear at the same time. This results in what we would call pure, clean sound.

As for if it actually affects lossless file quality, as the answer also states, it allows you to customize the outputs, from bass "thump and/or punch" to making the mids clearer and even setting your speaker/earphone's optimum KHz. So it's not so much how much better it sounds on Lossless but rather how much control you have when you listen to your lossless, if that makes sense.

Sounds good. Feeling the pinch haha, not willing to fork out the 4.99 for now.

I use Headquake. Some sort of 3d soundstage app.

So have you decided what player to go for?

Since I'm so short on time, I guess my iPod will have to do for now. But I'm really liking the J3, simple design and lots of space, I think that will be my next platform for a portable setup. Right now, I'll just save it for when I'm on vacation.

As for the price, I think $3.99 is very small compared to what we'd pay for a piece of good audio gear.

Hi sifu sifu sekalian. Can anyone please recommend me a MP3 player?

budget RM400-600

priority
-music SQ
-memory storage
-easy to control buttons (cause i will be using it when i ride. so its nice to switch songs with just one simple click of a button) =))

Currently using Ipod touch 3rd gen 32gb, not that easy to switch songs when i ride, still gonna unlock and stuff.

Using Grado Labs sr80i and Yuin Pk 2.

THX!!!!!

Try Sansa Clip+. Small, easy to operate and much cheaper than RM400.

This post has been edited by RowanPaladin: Apr 14 2012, 09:39 AM

dun forget the enhancement rockbox can give

wow. Thx guys. how about the other SANSAs? (Clip, Fuze, Zip) or isit just specifically only Clip+ is awesome? =D

what is Rockbox? isit a hardware enhancement or software?

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WhyRockbox

and btw not all sansa can rockbox, only Sansa c200, e200 and e200R series, Fuze, Clip and Clip+

It's a firmware. Makes everything simpler to use. I've only tested it out but from the 30min-ish I had with it, I noticed everything was much faster than the original firmware.

The other Sansas are also viable, but the Clip+ is more of a no-hassle, push-and-play player you were asking about. Also, Clip+ is the only one in the line-up that supports FLAC iirc.

This post has been edited by RowanPaladin: Apr 14 2012, 12:25 PM

can i just say that this isn't a very good idea?

True dat. Maybe a cord with volume/play-pause control? Any recommendations?

Hmm. Can use the iPod touch earphone(With volume control) to control the clip? cause when I ride the sq is not that important. Can't really listen in detail cause of the wind noise.

From the looks of it. i think Clip + is my best choice here.

Thx for the informative reply. Much appreciated.

I know almost any iPhone /smartphone compatible cables will work with the iPods but not sure about the Clip+(again, I only tested them for a little while) most probably you will only be able to play/pause.

riding while listening music is dangerous, u will not be aware of your surrounding, not recommended, dangerous

No worries. Won't be listening at loud volume. It will be like driving a car with the radio on. Still be able to hear the surrounding. Hehe

Added on April 18, 2012, 10:53 pmhmmm. i am having this dilemma on whether to choose the Sansa Clip Plus or the Sansa Fuze. Both almost same price but Fuze got bigger screen to scroll for songs.
Which have better SQ? =)) thx sifu sifus

Didnt realize my question is featured as the first question of the thread lol.

But anyways, here's the updated question to the previous question:

I will be owning UE Triplefi10 + Null audio lune cable

So, which dap with decent pricing (<rm800) with lossless support, decent or expandable memory capacity and decent battery life should i choose? No video no problem coz i'll be watching MVs on my ipad / computer instead.

HiSound Rocoo
