The TF10 was ok but nothing special IMO. Even in a Custom IEM form I found my Silver cabled IE80s quite a upgrade over them.

Are you running the IE80 from the Rocoo? I have decided to use the Rocoo as my daily rig, I am trying to build around it. IE80 are not cheap, that is why I am hesitant to make such a huge risk considering the GR08 and the Cardas IEM are months away.

Word of advice: give it time. While it is designed for BA it will not be sufficient for all BA. And since I am sure like the vast majority of us who have never had the chance to listen to a rig which does justice to the treble region of music you might find the BA at first too much to handle simply because it is presenting you the treble that you have never possibly listen to before. Just listen to the BA exclusively for a week and you will get used to its sound signature.
 
If you want to burn it in go for it to my ears I couldnt detect any change. Also if you want pink/white noise for burning in process I have found a free 24/48 Hz files which I dont mind sharing.

Enjoy and keep us posted! 

Interesting. That's been my experience since I got the BA. I am using 1964 Ears Quads (1 high, 1 mid, 2 bass BA drivers) and I find the treble region a bit too much and wishing for a warmer, darker sound signature. Maybe I should give it more time

I hated the treble at first. It was mostly because I never owned a music player which produced the treble close to what it should sound like. The problem is most of our "ordinary" DAP are just on the warm side. I love the treble now , it took me time to get used to it but now with the XBA-4 which I only now use exclusively with the Rocoo BA , the treble is just right, instrument placement is accerate. 

It just takes time to get used to it. 
 
I was hoping to use it with the ER4S but sadly it is just doesnt do justice to the ER4S.
 
Note:Try Sansa clip+! Whenever I miss the bass I just hook the XBA-4 with the Sansa clip+. It gives the bass that Rocoo lacks. You really cant go wrong with a DAP which cost $25, and rockbox it and unleash its full potential!

The IE80s sound great with the Rocoo BA and Studio V. As you mentioned the Rocoo has strong treble. Even more so with the Studio V. The IE80 has smooth treble that is well extended. This goes very well with the Rocoo and Studio players. Also the sound the BA puts out is very neutral which goes great with the IE80. You still get strong bass but it is well controlled and a large detailed sound stage.

Thanks for  your opinions.
The sparkle highs and the ultra highs (extention ) is the core value of our players. Yes, you have found out that usually other DAPs can't have such extra highs For general DAPs have "cutted" off the ultra highs frequencies. So, at the first impression of our player, we could feet it is a bit too bright. After you used the sound quality of it , especially the merits of the ultra highs, you will treasure it as look it is what the music should have.
Normally, the ultra highs are presented by the high grade home audio system.

Hopefully after the release of the IE800 the price for the IE80 is lowered. As far as rocoo BA goes, it is one neutral DAP with excellent treble presentation.

You definitely have me as a customer. Great respect from me. Hope to see future revision with 24/96 flac support.

  I am very happy to say that at last my Rocoo BA seems to be putting out some decent sound...
 
  I changed the firmware to the Dynamic and it has made a really big difference so now i am mostly happy with the player..
 
  The midrange is subjectively way cleaner and i am hearing subtleties previously missing..  The bass is good in terms of it;s
  definition and pace..but a bit more slam and depth would be very welcome....
 
  Now, did i see something about some new firmware ... kind of itching to try anything now..

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the Rocoo BA shared the same firmware as the Rocoo P already. 

 

[Sauntere]

  Yep, Rocoo P but not the firmware on the Studio

 

[Sauntere]

  In any case, changing /reloading the firmware has made a difference..

I am just curious which firmware you used so I do the same. Did you use the studio firmware?

 

[Sauntere]

  Hi audionewbi,
 
   Yeah i changed to the Studio Dynamic firmware and to my ears it is better...

That is interesting considering that the Quads are considered to be on the smooth side on top.
