Hisoundaudio AMP3 Pro 2
Dec 30th, 2009 | By DavidThe AMP3 is packaged in a small black box.
The back of the box gives more details on the specifications and features of the AMP3, as well as details about the company.
The AMP3 is neatly packed inside a hard foam guard for protection.
Included with the package are the AMP3 player, USB cable, PAA-1 earphones, and wall charger.
Now that we have opened up the package, let’s take a step back and look at the specifications.
i suppose they’ll improve the ui, and the looks is ok with me, but:
4+16 G is too low to expect us to use flac or wma at 320 kbps or mp3 at 320 kbps, with low storage (and the need to carry a lot of songs) you have to use low bit rates, and for that it is recomended to use he-aac -many codec comparisons show it-, (nokia suggest 48 kbps, i use 50-70 kbps).
i don’t want to reconvert my music (nor i have ‘master’ copies at high rate to do it) so to atract customers that already have their music in he-aac, the ones that have aac from itunes, etc., the player needs to support that. this is for PORTABLE uses (and even at home i don’t have a silent environment).
also, the player ir supposed to be forgiving of low bit rates (or the radio, or whatever is put on the line-in ).
for same, it’ll be good if they put a noise cancelling function.
I agree for the He-AAC. Also, I need WMA-PRO10 support for some 64 kbps files.
At high bitrates there’s little difference between codecs, but at 48 kbps He-AAC is the best.
