After months and months that the little hoarse and at home with me, I finally decided to open a 3d with all its attached small review.
I felt it was spin off from the only debate that picked up all the Chinese twins with similar amp (c30 cube, Roco A, hippo and other OEMs in gumstick the name escapes me) that this is the player that I wanted to prove myself.
are different models on the market: A-Roco, Roco Roco-B and-C (classical). Mine is the A.
going quickly with a complicated issue: the firmware. In this regard rera should intervene, as he was to flash the version that allowed me to hear him as much as possible "natural". I honestly do not know what and where to find it.
This happened because the manufacturer decided, I would say incredibly saw the result, to block the reader with an equalizer (not know by what criteria) that has proven to be totally unacceptable to my ears.
then I will give two separate impressions, the first about the hoarse-A "out of the box" setting and how he did it (sigh) and the second, certainly more positive, will describe the natural sound or at least not affected from various effettini.
[For each subsection of this review will indicate which version of the firm I mean]
First play the player, after the acquisition and the equalization of default which can not be deleted in any way
-final version of the firmware- You know all those effects of BBE +? Ones you do not fiddle with them on the train to try and make us a laugh in short .. 3D effects, presets funny that can turn the sound from a cavernous metal so to speak. Everything Hi-Fi has nothing but find any lettorino mp3, from the excellent stand by cowon.
Well, the rocks as the reader works out more "artificial" that I've ever heard: a separation exaggerated, fake and boring. It looks like a 3d effect pulled to the limit. The guitars are very precise, however, each lives in a dimension of sound and this kind of performance could make happy the musicians of the section. Imagine then a preset
halfway between rock and metal, a little '3D effect and much loudness. Here, we're almost there and do good to scare
sibilance present and no way to delete (the EQ is off, remember?) With very very high on. I tried, I gave him time and I have also placed their hopes in him, but in the end the only word I could think was "market and we hope to return with the least cost." Waste of money?
No, because ...
Listening to the player with the first firmware, the beta distributed to reviewers
-beta version of the firmware-
Now we reason, we lose a bit 'of everything that makes listening difficult and tiring and the sound gets sweeter when you can not just bring the wonderful word "normal" on the display of Rocchino
The defect of sibilance remains, especially for those CDs where there is nature. The CD test is in fact Autumn Sky, Candice's voice puts a strain on the reader and the re252 do their best, the difference can be seen via the soon to be hoarse + clip, this issue has certainly more dimensions acceptable residue. The chance to act on the equalizer (beta are with the firm that allow it) can overcome almost completely the sibilance and lost some 'yield but improved overall enjoyment.
With Alessandro MS1000
-beta version of the firmware-
Good race, great result, and the only portable player that can make me enjoy the MS1000 without the need of 'hippo box. The mere fact of being able to use with the grade / alessandro worth the purchase.
Excellent dynamics, good bass, and incisive sound that goes well with the joy and vitality of Alexander. I would say hurray, we found the intended use of this little pink gioeillino!
navigation / menu / firmware / bug -final version of the firmware-
-beta version of the firmware-
uncomfortable interface, translation very approximate, menus and a tight cramp the toes just to change a song. I'm not complaining, even if a player from € 100, the question is a big flaw.
The options are very few, only we can play with the beta firmware and also try equalizer some effettino. The reading of microSD is quick and precise, the library is pretty unified as we will see two folders roots, one for internal memory and one for external.
No problem for the recognition and management via PC.
Size / strength
Size very contained, almost comparable to that of the Sansa Clip +, and minimum weight make hoarse comfortable to hold in his pocket, there is no clip but really you forget it him. The mirror surface is very nice to see, even the color of old rose conquered me (ok, I'm a girl ... But it's really nice).
The earbuds (buddies) in support ...
Not bad, I would say above average and decent as the ones fitted to the sandisk. Better than those found in the cowon words and philips.
The supplied in-ear ... (PAA-1S)
chapter, a nice surprise and very good ear in order to be included in a bundle with lettorino China. He has just one flaw, perhaps: comes with only one type of insert and is not compatible with anything in my possession.
As you can see from the photos in the rubber dotazione non sono piccolissimi, addirittura riescono a sigillare il mio canale (e ricordo che ad oggi io uso una L di ogni inserto, a parte le black olive della shure) e questo può renderle inutilizzabili per molti utenti.
La forma particolarissima e lievemente bombata del canale driver rende gli inserti standard poco adatti, anche questa mi è sembrata una scelta alquanto discutibile. Resta intesto che riuscirete a montare per esempio dei gommini tipo T400 Comply, ma dopo poco tempo automaticamente ve li ritroverete in mano o peggio li perderete.
Forse la hiSound vende inserti compatibili, non lo so perché il mio scopo era solo quello di fare un test a queste piccole.
Tornando in tema comunque, le promuovo assolutamente per il loro costo: ovvero nulla. Sono ottime in ear per iniziare o per evitare di comprare una pl30 da 17 euro. Non sono bassose, anzi tendono alla neutralità e non risultano fastidiose.
PRO:
- piccolo, leggero e carino;
- suona bene, decisamente bene (-versione beta del firmware-);
- in bundle decenti auricolari e buone in ear rispetto alla concorrenza;
- pilota egregiamente le Alessandro MS1000, sono solo 32 ohm ma la conformazione le rende ostiche per tutti gli altri lettori in mio possesso. Cowon i9 incluso.
CONTRO:
- costruzione molto approssimativa, scricchiolii e tasti poco precisi danno l'idea di una cineseria, un peccato per un lettore che si presenta con un amp di classe A e molte recensioni positive alle spalle;
- suono artificiale e poco reale, anche se sicuramente coinvolgente (-versione definitiva del firmware-);
- nel mio modello l'indicatore batteria è molto poco preciso, si passa dalle due tacche allo spegnimento senza alcun preavviso.
Lo consiglio? Sì e no.
Sì a chi voglia sperimentare un lettore che pilota di tutto, comprese le MS1000 e le RE0, pur mantenendosi in basso sulla scala volume. Ma che sia un utente pro, che sa di having to manage a product with bugs and beta firmware to enjoy the potential it offers. In my opinion not worth the price of € 100 unless you are only interested in its merits and decide to suspend its flaws.
No if you look for stability, peace and do not want to muck around with various updates and flash.
I decided to keep it, if as I believe (or fear?) RE262 for the ape will continue to grow I need his power in the future.
PS: a little complaint as declared by the manufacturer:
Quote:
| Because Of Our unique circuitry design and we do not need to Provide the bass sound effects (EQ, BBE or so) to gain the artificially low, we duplicate the original natural sound perfectly. |
Only when you can remove this pseudo-equalization will discover the quality of this player. Note that all reviewers have felt satisfied with the product like me, that is, using the equalizer settings and being able to use the "normal".
So it is not true that nature is so, the rap on the hands hisoundaudio
