2. Let's Roq-it!

Introducing D-Link's first attempt to enter the hard drive digital audio market with the DMP-HD610 Roq-It.

Most likely, D-Link is not the first name brand that comes to mind when considering MP3 players, but D-Link has been in the business of producing high quality products at attractive prices for some time. D-Link has dabbled in the MP3 player market for a while now, although the new DMP-HD610 is their first attempt to market a hard drive-based MP3 player.

D-Link realized at the outset that the MP3 player market is still growing, and that what has been holding it back is the overall price of most MP3 players. In order to put this review in the proper perspective, it must be noted that D-Link is, perhaps, the lowest priced of all of the hard drive-based MP3 players; and, in order to meet this price point, some trade-offs had to be made.

These trade-offs may turn some folks against the Roq-It, while others who are more price conscious may welcome them as a way to make the technology affordable and more available to the average consumer.
