I was considering to add C3 in my source inventory.

However, there are some known issues in the current C3 such as  annoying 'pop or c'lick'' between songs,

and also no gap-less playback. Just hoping the new firmware will correct those issues.

Have you feedback those issues to Colorfly?

I'm just curious.:)

Well price was one factor because I'm not trying to spend $250 or $300 on a DAP right now and the other is I wanted a more analytical player to pair with my warm mid-centric SM3 and thought the C3 would be a good fit.

pop/click between songs - Barely noticeable (unless you're trying to hear it), hasn't bothered me at all.

no gap-less - This can be resolved by ripping a CD as a single FLAC/WAV file and using a .cue file to determine which track of the album you are on, and skipping between tracks. You only really need to do this on albums which are basically a single track split into parts, otherwise gap-less is not really necessary.

Few questions from a potential owner:

Can the C3 play my 16 bit 44Khz wav´s out of the box?

On my current mp3-player wich is a mass-storace device, I organized the music by Genre, artist and album. It is played in cronologic "mode", which is one song at a time, one folder at a time, one artist at a time all the way through the library. Is that how the C3 will play it too?

I can scroll ofcourse for songs within a folder, but can I scroll for another album-folder within an artist folder, and can I scroll for another artist-folder within a certain genre?

Edited

Please bear with all my questions..  :)

I was wrong, that firmware update it is for the c4! Sorry, editing my post now..
 

Sorry but that's wrong. That's the C4PRO firmware update not the C3

edit: I see that you realized the same thing

Sigh, I'm going to ask again  because this problem is very frustrating. 

So, my C3 cannot play properly one album which is "House of Balloons" by "The Weeknd". If you try to play the album, the whole player will freeze for a good 15 seconds or so then the music will play.   Need help, please! DESPERATE HELP

Just curios why Colorfly did not do it for C3 but only C4PRO? Has anyone gotten clarification from Colorfly?
