Hisound Studio & RoCoo Firmware Files
Feb 15, 2012 at 9:09 AM Post #47 of 144
I just got the studio-v today. Soundstage and definition is way better than the Rocoo P, but the bass?? Weak. My Rocoo has better bass than this.
Does anyone experience this? I have the Dynamic firmware installed. Surprising how the bass of my Rocoo P is better, I expected the other way around.
Is it just because the Studio is brand new and needed sometime to burn in?

I don't think so. They seem to have different sound signatures. You could let it burn for some time, maybe it will help.
 

 
 
I'll let them burn for 1 week and see if it changes next week.

How long do you have it already?

I agree - there isn't to much bass in the Studio-V. But i think that it is an excellent match with the REF 5. I have heard it with other daps such as Clip+, J3, iPhone - and the studio is by far the best. I think the REF 5 easily becomes dark sounding but not with the studio :) And there is still plenty of bass IMO :wink:

Well.. not too much is OK, but the first time I run it, it was almost nothing. Now after 8 hours it started to open up :). It sounded really good with the SE5 :D.
Btw, a lot of people complain about hiss. No complain at all here, my iQube and and Kenwood hisses much more than the Studio.

The REF 5 are not that sensitive - so thats why it's no problem for us :) I can hear hiss - but nothing that bothers me at all. I hope you will be happy with your studio - I really like mine!!

Update: So after 24 hours of nonstop playing the studio-v at volume 12 + plugging the PDAA-1 earphone; I listen to it again just now, the bass is there with just the right amount. Sounds great with the SE5! Love this little thing.

This is how it is supposed to be.  The Studio V is not geared for fun or bassy experiences, its meant for natural unbiased sound.  All of Hisounds gears tailors to something, each one is unique and made for a specific purpose.  The V was never designed to offer bassy sound.

I bought a rocoo BA but the installed firmware is for Rocoo-P, does chaning the firmware to the one it is meant to be make any difference?
