Controlled. what is the richer bass spectrum? The bass of Flo2 completely drop off (more serious than the word of roll off) at around 60 hz, no ultra bass spectrum, can it be called rich bass? -More of an impact in the lows and mids, does not seem as delicate sounding as the amp3 pro2 though How do you define the impact? My observation of the impact of FLO2 is the hump and louder mids. I don’t think the louder mids is music impact. Just like Bomb has much impact than drum. The problem of FLO2 is no ultra highs and ultra bass,The whole energy is concentrated on the mids.It misleads the listener to misunderstand it has “impact”. Music appreciation is to enjoy the reality of the music, the shine and extention highs and engaging bass, to experience the details of all frequencies, it is not only for “impact” If a player is only designed for the “impact”, then make the player has congest instruments, this “impact” will became listening fatigue, to be frankly, who can listen to FLO2 for long time with out headach? -Soundstage is about the same, though amp3 seems a tad bit airy AMP3 has much better airy than FLO2. What is airy? Airy comes from the ultra highs extention. The highs of Flo2 cuted at about 10khz,no ultra highs, Flo2 has less airy. while AMP3 has aobut 20khz highs, -Articulation is good. Great attack. The articulation of Flo2 is inperfect. It is over resolution. Just as the picture is over exposured. The sound of flo2 is flat, lack of dynamic, less details, lifless. The over resolution sound make FLO2 has less muiscality. Amp3 Pro2 -Lows are good, but seems slightly lacking. Bass is very controlled, but lacking impact I have said, the bass of bomb and drum is different. The lows of AMP3 is very extention, with clear and detail bass. The bass of AMP3 is very meaty, with the features of density,”springing” feeling, this is the hi end bass, wich is very comfortable for music listening. I don’t like the bomb style bass. -mids seems to be lacking compared to sflo2 This conclusion is completely wrong. The hump mids of Flo2 is achieved by sacrificing the ultra highs and ultra bass. It is overwhelming. The vocal on Flo2 has peak wich is harsh to ear, it is uncomfortable sound. Less instruments seperation, less music laying, only concentrates on mids frequences, such a mid is inbalanced. It is well known that AMP3 has a perfect mids, the sound of mids are very dynamic, has a decent sound image. The mids of AMP3 is it’s strength comparing to any players. -highs articulated nicely, though a tad shrill at times I doubt you make a typo to type “shine” to be “shrill”. AMP3 has the best highs, the highs extention can reach to 20khz, maybe you have no such a experience with DAPs, so you feel it is shrill. The ultra highs of AMP3 can perfectly duplicate the clear and shining highs, such as the reality violine presentation. -Soundstage almost the same to me on both DAPs, but the amp3 is a little more layered and airy The last half of the conclusion is right, but I don’t agree the first half of the sentence. The headstage of AMP3 is much better than Flo2. Flo2 has related less instrument seperation, flat sound, congest mids, how can it has the satisfied headstage? -impact is ok, but not as good as sflo2 I don’t want mention the “impact”again, I want to taste the essential of music peacefully, I don’t like the “bom bom bom” impact. -sound not as balanced as I would like it to be, big plus for the sflo2 I completely disagree with you on this with my comparation of the two players. Just as I have mentioned, Flo2 has no ultra highs, no ultra bass, plus the overwhelming mids, which has shadowed and poluted the highs, how can Flo2 became a balaced player? On the contrary, AMP3 is famous for it’s balance sound. AMP3 is one of few DAPs has no EQ in the wold. The natural and balance music representation are the strength of AMP3. |

It is more detailed, cleaner, and tighter, and it is delivered with greater power which I have found to positively affect the SQ. If you like the bass from the D2, then I think you will be even happier with the S:flo2. I hope this helps. |

If you want to chat send me PM or let's talk via gg You can find external batteries from Fiio and other brands. I assume this will work nice. But I don't mind playback time. I assume you have your s:flo already? |
