Small Player with BIG Performance!

Posted
By SolidVictory

Pros: Resolution, clarity, power, transparency, musicality.

Cons: Small screen, non-customizable display for titles, no MTP support

    I was looking for a new DAP a few months ago when my Cowon S9's power slider stopped working properly. I was considering the HiFiMan 601, HiFiMan 802, S:Flo2, and a few other DAPs. After fixing the power slider problem myself, I stopped looking for a DAP because I was content with my Cowon S9.   Recently, I was browsing the forums and came across a promotion by HiSoundAudio involving their new player: the RoCoo P. I did not know much about the RoCoo P nor HiSoundAudio, but I did remember hearing the word "RoCoo" thrown around the forum sparingly over the years, so I decided to read more. Eventually I took the plunge and bought the RoCoo P through their...

The search for the perfect DAP and amp has ended

Posted
By paulmvg

Pros: Sound quality

Cons: Size, UI, short battery life

I never expected that such device will be the perfect complement for my trusty HD 25. All the cons I picked up upon hearing my HP were all remedied by this wonderful DAP (thanks to its built-in amp). The sibilance went away, better bass extension and mids are among the improvements it gave. Oh, I almost forgot, the soundstage became wider. Definitely a must buy for all HD 25 owners. :)

Rocoo P - Highs Mids and Lows

Posted
By vbvb

Pros: Sound Quality, Build Quality

Cons: Read through the impressions

  When I was looking for a good quality portable driver, predominantly for use while traveling and at desk, I came across some very positive reviews and impressions for Rocoo P / BA / Studio. I was immediately drawn by Rocoo P as it was a smaller design compared to studio version and I wanted it to be compatible with all IEMs and not specifically designed for BAs.     Having read the different reviews and the impressions, I was little hesitant in going for Rocoo P, especially with the feedback of background hiss and lack of any useful equalizer.    I have been enjoying this wonderful little device extensively for over a week now, that I...

Rocoo P - Brief overview

Posted
By superdron3
Introduction I recently came across a video review of the RoCoo P on youtube and being interested in purchasing a dap to match my earphones, I decided get one. I've been trying it with some Sennheiser IE 8's and have also tried the Grado sr80i's which were suitable. Purchase and Packaging and Contents I emailed service@hisoundaudio.com and received a swift  response advising how i could purchase the player. This worked, but I hope the website will allow orders through it in the future. The player came packaged securely protected by foam and there were no issues with the condition. Contents: RoCoo P PAA-1 earbuds Wall charger (without adaptor) usb cable User manual...

My impressions about the RoCoo P

Posted
By Tonio

Pros: Sound quality, Design

Cons: User interface, Battery life

First, I'd like to say that this player is easily the best sounding source I've ever owned.  I used to have an iPod Classic which was much more convenient but far from sounding as good as the RoCoo P.  If you're not into sound quality that much, I'd say that you'd better buy an Ipod with good headphones because the RoCoo P is so good sounding that it needs the best cans out there (which I don't have yet besides my top tier iems).    Audio Quality   Although very compact, it delivers impressive sound quality.  The sound is very clear, powerful bass and clear treble and midrange.  Unlike other players, you can not really talk about warmth here....

Rocoo P- Where Sound Quality and low price meets!

Posted
By Audeoboy

Pros: Dominates everything! Sound Quality is superb! Beautiful Solid Design

Cons: Battery life(10 hours+-), Basic User interface

  Hi there folks!  This is my first time writing a review, so I hope you guys can bear with me :)  Firstly I would like to thank Jack Fu for the amazing Rocoo P DAP. I got it posted to my house 1 week after I order it. If it is not due to the holiday in his country I would have got it earlier. But it is nothing to complain about.   The Rocoo P is one of the most powerful DAP in the audiophile market. And when you purchase one of these, music is really the only focus; they have no games, no apps, and not even the basics app like clock or etc; this thing plays music and that is it!   Image of the shiny beautiful Hisoundaudio Rocoo P  ...

HiSound Audio Rocoo P, great with the right IEM

Posted
By SursumCorda

Pros: Soundstage, great driving ability, plays any file type, solid design, "fun" sound with bass-emphasised IEMs

Cons: Basic UI, some firmware bugs, no hold slider, bit 'fussy' on best IEM pairing, longevity

NOTE; I am an audio appreciator, not an audiophile. The follow is my thoughts and not based on some of the crazy in-depth tests that some do. This is a layman’s review for a layman. =)   BACKSTORY AND DISCLAIMER; I spent some time browsing the forums of head-fi and looking over the DAP lists before ordering this product. I almost bought a Cowon Z2 (since I’m in Korea, I can get it locally) but in the end decided that $280+ was a bit much to spend when I have an iPod/iPad for all apps and all I wanted was a pure and powerful music player. The Rocoo P seemed to be what I was looking for, and it has received good reviews here and elsewhere. I contacted Hisound and got a quote....

Hisoundaudio RoCoo P - Thumbs Up

Posted
By RevC

Pros: Sound & build Quality

Cons: Clunky Interface

I'll keep this simple as I would probably only duplicate what is said elsewhere anyway but on the principle that the number of reviews says as much as the reviews themselves here I go.   I already have the ubiquitous iPod and a Cowon X7. Increasingly I have been ripping my CDs to FLAC as I move to a more streaming oriented home set up and I have been looking for a way to make the most of these files when on the move. The Cowon is already full and the iPod is now limited to lower quality rips so I was looking for a small DAP to augment the Cowon and hold some favourite music to listen to on the move.   I found this DAP when browsing online and (helped no end by the...

The Affordable & Awesome Sounding HiSound Audio RoCoo P

Posted
By Austin Morrow

Pros: Absolutely fantastic sound - streamlined design - good value for money

Cons: User interface is too simple

  Here we go again with yet another HiSound Audio review, instead this time we’re taking a look at their new RoCoo P digital audio player. Without getting into specifics and going on and on with a fancy and engaging intro, I’d rather just get straight down to the basics. The RoCoo P is one of the best sounding digital audio players I’ve heard to date, and it has an amazing price point to match the performance. So, without any further ado, let’s take a deeper look at the all new RoCoo P.   The Design Before I even begin to discuss the sound in the RoCoo P, I feel as if though there have been a few design changes that will excite a lot of people looking for a DAP or...
