Whats it worth thread: Hisound rocoo / Hisound Studio / Hisound Amp3

Whiplash Audio used to sell them, or was planning to, so you should probably ask Craig.

I dont know, but hit me up when you have a price for the studio.

Looking back I personally think I bought into the hype. Purchased an AMP3 pro2. Probably my least favorite DAP I bought...unstable UI which would lead to freezing, which forces you to pray it doesn't brick and find something small enough to reach the reset button, not to mention not a  very intuitive UI. Also, the ever constant hiss became annoying more quickly than I'd thought it would. The overall sound/presentation was pleasing enough, but it certainly didn't wow me. Also, the design with the sharp edges was begging to get dinged. In terms of using it as a dedicated amp, it didn't nearly provide enough drive (usually maybe a click or two higher in volume than the regular headphone out of a DAP), and you still had to deal with the hiss.

edit: I just want to say this was just my personal experience with the AMP3 product, and is in no way a reflection of my opinions of Craig or Whiplash Audio, as my experience with him and his company have been nothing short of positive

i dont think he sell it anymore, i already wait my pre-ordered Hisound Studio for 1 year and 2 months and still not come to me yet

and yes, this is wrong forum, the right forum is "Portable Source Gear"

If you have a cheap one I may consider buying one.

However if my memory is correct the rocoo is no longer sold by Hisound. I believe that is due to a violation in contract that they were not supposed to sell them in China but still did so the contract they had was void. I could be wrong about that however.
