REVIEW – TWISTER6 @ HEAD-FI.ORG
“I originally wanted to write a short mini-review covering my first impression of Pico. After all, the fw is still work in progress and app hasn’t been released yet. But once I started to plan my write up, I realized that in terms of audio performance and playback functionality there shouldn’t be any drastic changes in the future. Thus, I ended up writing a full review of Pico. Overall, I found it to have a dual personality with individual attitudes. The tiny size, the minimalistic design, the limited controls, and the clip attachment all scream loud and clear – I got a sport attitude! But once you start listening to this Pico-size audio player, your ears tell you that Pico inherited audiophile attitude from its bloodline of PAW DAPs. If you are in the market to buy your first audio player, I wouldn’t necessary say this is a must have purchase. Pico is intended for audiophiles and audio enthusiast who want to take their music on the go with a basic playback functionality and without sound quality compromises. And when I say “on the go”, it doesn’t have to be just while working out, running, biking, hiking, etc. So many times I hear people saying they feel uncomfortable bringing PAW Gold or other pricey DAPs with them on a bus or a subway while commuting to work. With Pico this shouldn’t be a problem. Or if you are just a fan of cool little audio and electronic gadgets, this could make one heck of a conversation piece.
But Pico doesn’t just look “cute”, it has a mature reference sound quality and pairs up nicely with neutral and warmish IEMs, while also giving more revealing details to your analytical IEMs. You can even use it to drive a number of full size headphones where I had no issues driving some planar magnetic and even 470 ohm cans. You get up to 10hrs of playback time with random or sequential playback. Despite the lack of screen, it’s rather easy to navigate and to control the playback, and it’s firmware upgradeable where Lotoo already released an update which was easy to install. It supports majority of high res formats, though limited 32GB internal storage makes it only practical for high bit rate mp3s and FLAC files. And as a bonus, you can play around with Sport Mode when Lotoo updates bi-lingual support and releases its tracking app.”
