Was wondering if the clip actually does sound better? Even when the classic 5th gen iPod is using a wolfson WM8758 sound chip while I dont even know what sandisk is using. Assuming that both are rockboxed so I can play FLAC files (even when clip can already play it).
You are getting hung up on a $5 (if that..) piece of silicon - its all about implementation. If praise for the SQ on the Clip/Clip+/Fuze was limited to Head-Fi, I could understand your caution, but it isnt - this player has consistently stunned people from CNET to anythingbutipod.com. I have a DAP that I'm happy with, but I wouldn't hesitate to spend money on the Clip+ if my current DAP died, and I'm one of the nutters who paid over 500AUD when the Sony X1060 was released here. By contrast, the Clip+ sells for less than the cost of a night out - to me, that's a no-brainer.
