lol what? comes with a harry potter book?
and that FLAC is the only con i have so far with this player
can anyone tell me what the problem is with playing FLAC on this player? because half my music is FLAC, if it can't support it, i'm screwed
Where are you located and where are you buying the Hippo from?
The Flac issue is about the level of flac compression, I'm sure there's a simple work-around so you can reconvert your flac to the correct flac format and then it will all play fine on the Hippo, I just haven't bothered looking into the exact details of that process yet since I'm basically listening to the same flac album over and over. Italian baroque =)
Other novelties include a synthetic voice that will tell you the name of the folder you're looking at, so even if you can't see this thing in the sun you can
listen your way through the navigation settings.
I feel as though warm, natural and clear sounding, bass-shy earphones pair very well with this unit, of which I only have one pair (and they just semi-broke, thanks to my experimental modding).
Bass-focused earphones do less well, Hippo + A-Jays Three is a negative pairing, the bass becomes full of resonance and overshadows the mids.
Yeah, it comes with a harry potter book, and it's called The Hippo, you wonder if they're aiming this thing at 14 year old girls or something? =p They should just call it the "Fatty" or "Teddy".
I prefer cube and teclast marketing hehe
