A good DAP doesn't need a customer support hotline.

 

You're just sour because you had issues with the UI on the Colorfly CK4 right? ;)

I've used it. You know who I am, so take this with a grain of salt. I'd not buy it. It seems that there are many units in China and abroad (most or all) that have navigation errors, and typical colorfly stuff. It does sound good and has low noise floor and is small and well-made, but it works like a fifth wheel at best. Again, you are paying more for 'sound quality' with no regard for finish, polish, ergonomics, or even proper working condition.

 

I find it beautiful but hardly worth the asking price. Others may disagree. I will be happy to have their opinions here as mine isn't a good one to add to this thread. If I bought one rather than borrowed it, I'd be fuming.

 

I refused to review it if that is any indication. The review would be too full of vitriol.

Thanks for the input. It is quite funny, because I thought of buying a C3, because of the simple UI and nice SQ. It is quite a dissapointment, while even at this level of simplicity it does not work properly.

 

BTW this is a Colorfly tablet: http://www.electronicschina.org/colorfly-ct97-vanilla-1ghz-1g-ram-9-7-inch-android-4-0-tablet-review/

The UI is NOT simple. It might work reasonably well if the buttons depressed properly. Because + -, and all buttons on the extremity are hard to press, there isn't much simplicity about this thing. The C4 is much simpler to use than this. So is a rockbox player with the most advanced design. Put on gloves and use an iPod touch - that's about the level of simplicity Colorfly have coaxed from this thing.
