Hippo Biscuit and Hippo Pearl Review
Recently i feel empty..i feel the need to find a way to motivate me...and the only way to do so quickly is to listen to music. I have Iphone 4, HTC Evo 3D, Ipod Shuffle..and why the hell do i need to look for a good digital audio player..?? I dont have a direct answer, maybe it is my fetish for aluminium stuff..maybe it is my lust to collect gadgets or maybe i believe good sound reproduction can only be made possible via good hardware and not just software like BBE.
So while i am having dinner with my lovely wife, i pass through Jaben. So i told my wife i will just hand out for a while to check out whats new. The person at the counter told me there is a new kids on the block..a mp3 player fully made of aluminium with superb clean sound. I was delighted!! MP3 full aluminium, good sound is good news to me...but wait...no screen???
- Support Audio Format : MP3, WAV

- lay time : Around 10 hours
- Dimensions : 62.88mm x 35.7mm x 11mm Weight : 30g

Yeah no screen. It means browsing through folders will be a nightmare. To add salt to injury this lil gem has a micro SD card slot..wtf..imagin having to browse through 5 folders with 100 of songs. The only way you can do it is click on next next next and next...
So ok i told myself to give it a try. I Listened to a few demo music from Adele, EAgle Hotel California and some other songs...The first impression i get is "Clean". No hiss no distortion and just pure clean music even if you crank up the volume. It is on the warmer side. Yeah no screen means no build in EQ too..So there will only be 1 sound signature which is a lil bit on the warm side. I did AB comparison with my iphone 4 and this player certainly win in term of SQ most probably because of the clean sound. But i have yet to test it with iphone 4 LOD.
When you amp this Hippo Biscuit with Fiio E11 amp, you will get a bass machine :) And i think when it is pair with the IEM Hippo Pearl, it gives you a nice , warm on stage feel. Pure audhiophile might not like this as they prefer off stage feel most of the time. The V based EQ signature on this Biscuit will be easily acceptable by average Joe like me..
Another complain is it do not accept flac, WMA and other file format. Just Mp3 and Wav..Hopefully a future firmware update will fix this. I also do not have any information on the hardware. No one knows what type of AMP or chipset is being used. Google is futile...no information on the net. Navigation is simple. The middle button which has a green LED is actually the on off button. You have to hold it for 2 second to turn off or on. Press it again to play and press it again to hold. There is a volume up and down button and two more buttone to play forward or reverse track,.yeah is that bloody simple. Summary :-If you are looking for a mp3 player with clean sound and intend to use it like the 80s walkman, then this is the player for u. It is sturdy, tough and i doubt it will ever damage cause there is no screen on it. But if you are looking for a mp3 to store all your mp3 collection, then this is not the player for you.
BBE SonicMax Pro Review
For those who do not know what the hell is BBE it is basically a digital sound processing technology which improve audio quality without compromising the music quality or SQ.
This is what i get from their official website "BBE’s patented technology restores the natural warmth, clarity and definition that have been missing from your digital listening experience. Rediscover the thrill of deeper richer lows, superior clarity and definition, increased upper harmonic detail and better overall audio performance regardless of the quality of your earphones, dock, or speakers. The SonicMax Pro difference will blow you away."
Currently some mainstream digital audio player like cowon or the extinct Cube C30 or Hippo Gumstick has the BBE EQ build in. Some has sing praises to it claiming that it will bring out the details such as the hi hats and cymbals sound that they never be able hear before. When BBE launc the Sonix Mac Pro on ITunes i was thinking why not give it a try on my Apple iphone 4 to see if it is really that good or not. Shown below are the interface of the Sonic Max Pro.
Music Quality is a hit and miss. Out of the box i cant get a perfect match with my Superlux IEM HD 381 or Hippo Pearl. I have to do a lot of experiment and tweaking to get my perfect match. At the wrong setting it will distort the SQ especially the bass. Even the website claim that it would not distort the music but based on my experience. It will... I have email their tech support, hopefully they will come out with a fix for it. I am also hoping they will pump in more preset instead of the 4 preset, earphone, headset, speaker, docking station.

Review on Section 114A of the Evidence Act 1950
Ok Buddies..I am trying to do a research on the 114A Act which discriminate most of the internet user here..help me do a brainstorming session on why this law is shitty, how it can be abuse and recommendation to fix it...
This is what is 114A >>>
http://www.parlimen.gov.my/files/billindex/pdf/2012/DR162012E.pdf
http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/press_statements/repeal_section_114a_of_the_evidence_act_1950.html
Here is why i think this law is shitty.
1. We are automatically guilty and we have to prove our innocence but how many of us have the technical capability to prove we are not guilty? This require deep technical know how. Eg how do you prove other people have hack into your ipad?
2. All those free wifi provider will stop providing service cause if the user post something bad the wifi provider will be in deep shit and guilty.
...3. If you have a forum or web site and you enable comment, ppl comment on your page then you are guilty too..wtf!!!
How it can be abuse?
1,. You can hack into your enemy computer and post malicious stuff and he is doom!! A good hacker knows how to cover track and it is impossible for this poor victim to trace back what happen!!!
Recommedation to fix it?
1. This law should be put on hold and more research need to be conducted with more participants from IT Security professional
