I'm curious, did any of you following this thread who pre-ordered a Studio receive a shipping notice yet? Please post if you have. I'd be interested to know. Thanks.

Not for the Studio, the Rocoo yes, but not yet for the Studio.

For the RoCoo yes, still waiting on the Studio as well.

Yes, got shipping confirmation on the Rooco, thanks Craig. Looking forward to hearing it!

With HiFlight's recently posted impression that he prefers the SQ of the Rocoo to that of the AMP3, the Rocoo is shaping up to be a more exciting product than I was originally expecting.

The addition of EQ settings in the Rocoo offer some nice compensations for differences in phones and personal tastes. They are well-done and not artificial-sounding.

The Rocoo has a more energetic SQ than does the Amp3, but the Amp3 still has the edge on ruggedness, battery life, etc.

The Rocoo is a superb "grab and go" player. I have discovered no firmware issues with it as yet. The firmware updater and online support from Hisoundaudio for the Rocoo is MUCH improved over that of the Amp3.

Although it has no effect on sonic performance, the exterior design of the Rocoo is very striking, and would stand out immediately in a grouping of comparably priced players.

I am hoping that all of these firmware improvements will also be incorporated in the upcoming Studio. I rather doubt that the EQ will be present in the Studio, but that is not, for me, a major concern.

Question for all of you Amp3 owners. I can't seem to get enough volume. I have tried with my Ultrasone 780's and my 2500's. V Moda Vibes cranked all the way to 31 is about right, but would still like more volume. What am I doing wrong?

Did you do the firmware upgrade? It is on the HiSound website. That gives more volume. As a matter of fact, I am looking for the "original firmware" that came installed on the unit so that I can revert back. I find with the updated firmware the sound gets too loud too fast and doesn't compliment sensitive phones. Can anyone point the direction of the original firmware please?

Got my RoCoo yesterday. The sound is fantastic, but with my 16gb memory card I get strange rumbling hissing. Is it because it's a 16gb card I wonder? The flash memory is fine, and I don't have an 8gb card to try. If anyone out there can shed some light on this I would really appreciate it.

You're not doing anything wrong, unfortunately the Amp3 is just a very quiet player. Great sounding, but woefully underpowered. That's why I had to buy the Studio. The firmware upgrade I got back in '09 did almost nothing to fix it. It's too bad, the Amp3 is a great player. One thing you could do is ditch the Vmoda Vibes. They're VERY quiet, so that's a very bad pairing.

I've got an 8GB (Transcend Class 6) and a 16GB (RiData Class 6) micro sdhc cards, both of which work really well in the Rocoo. The 16GB card is the same one that I've been using with my AMP3-Pro.1. When I popped it out of the AMP3 and into the Rocoo, the Rocoo went through a multiple minute processing time, but afterwards, I could see and select all of the tracks on the 16 GB micro sdhc card, and the playback was really gorgeous. I have .mp3 and .wav files stored on the 16 GB card.
