what do you mean by putting the settings on 'high'? All I see is the equalizer, which is set on normal.

The Clip doesnt have a line out, as far as i can see, so a DAC would be useless.
Get the Cowon if you can.
LOL! You diss the Clips and then apparently admit you don't have one or if you do, can't tell if it has a line out!
Seriouly, It's a great little player - I have 3 Cliips and 1 Fuze. Better sound than the new generation iTouch we have. I name no names, but do notice people who have bought big expensive players diss the Sansa players...I guess it's like when I was younger and bought a big expensive car and just 'new' it was so much better than my Honda Civic. Yeh...I realized I was kidding myself and so my last car was a nice little, great handling, fuel efficient Honda Civic. Live and learn.
Using that logic, using high end headphones with a J3 instead of with a $1500 home dac and amp is the same watch battery/chainsaw analogy. The Clip is a small inexpensive kit. And it does very well when you accept the limitations you get with a $40 purchase. When headfiers on here talk about sound quality you do have to read between the lines and understand whether they're talking about a $40 or a $4000 investment.
. The improvements the J3 brings to the table seem worth that extra couple of ton to me.
No, I've got a Clip+ and a J3 - don't be so quick to judge. The Clip sounds crap next to the J3. I have no inclination to try and amp it via the line out - if indeed there is one, which I remember reading somewhere there isn't - as that would be a little bit like sticking an aircraft engine on your hoover so you can get the little bits of fluff under the sofa easier.
Oh, and I don't drive.
so....for an example, the price of the clip+ in my region is around 58USD(I know it is overpriced, but hypes do tend to raise the price in some certain region, I thought it should;ve been 40USD), what other DAP is much more worth it than spending my money on a clip+? of course with the consideration that the more expensive the DAP is, the better it sounds...
oh..and I prefer flat sound
I just got a Clip+ as a replacement for my Fuze v.2 (returned due to some issues), and the Clip+ sounds thin and veiled compared to the Fuze, weaker, which from everything I've read makes zero sense. Totally caught me off guard. Could just be something with me, I dunno. Same headphones, same source material/file types. I'm mildly freaking out about it. Mildly.
