The NaNite N2 is perfect for those that have been looking for something small, capable of good audio quality, but still powerful enough to drive their earphones to their full potential. To top it off the the NaNite N2 also comes with BBE audio enhancement, this includes preset eq's as well as 3 user definable BBE eq's.

so who's going to review it first?
It seems to be similar to the Hippo Gumstick and the Cube C30.

My review of C30, which should be the same as N2. They are great little DAP.

Another Rocoo-A clone.

That's misleading. C30 / N2 is not clone of Rocoo-A. Both are OEM'ed by Cube based on totally different hardware.

The 8th player that using the same housing?

so nobody is even going to pretend that this is anything but an ad?

No need to jump down my throat, you can hardly blame me for coming to that conclusion.

Can this support gapless playback, do you think i will get a lot of hiss when i use it with my m6.

 

[shigzeo]

Gapless? Not with Rockchip. And if the C30 and this one are indeed the same thing, using it outside is completely impossible thanks to the OLED screen. Sound is one thing, usability, another, completely.
 
The good thing is the size and the sound, although battery life seems to be pretty good too. I just wish this format player could be 'fixed' by the removal of the OLED and better ID3tag support.

 

[friacaif]

The picture says sigmatel, would that matter in allowing for gapless. I am not particularly worried about  using it out doors in the sun i work in a lab and when i am not working in a lab i am at home with the lack of sun i get i am nearing albino state

 

[shigzeo]

This format is perfect for albinos!

 

[ClieOS]

Actually the LED screen is plenty bright (too bright actually), even under the sun. The problem is the reflective housing cut down the brightness of the screen. It will be much better if Cube doesn't put the reflective layer on top the the screen. On another note, I don't think it has gapless.

 

[friacaif]

I figured the gapless was not there after reading the C30 reviews. What about hiss is there a lot and does it affect the sound quality? The rocco version seems to have a lot of hiss but couldn't get the same information on the C30/N2.

 

[shigzeo]

The C30 hisses, but much much less than the Rocco. So too, does the Gumstick. I've not spent too much time with the C30 (only very recently), but it is much better than the Rocco. I assume that this one, too, is okay. 
 
None of them are as silent as I wish they were, but only the Rocco is horrid.
