I think it only matters what you upload to the C3. I have all my rips with tags (since I use them on other devices that can use the tags), but I stripped the tags with foobar before uploading to C3 and it works great.

Anyone know how this compares to the Fiio A5?  I'll be using them to drive a pair of T50RPs. I found the soundstage to be a bit squished using another Fiio amp, so a bit hesitant to jump on the a5, though that amp was underpowered for the t50s.

Nice, thanks.  A5 looks decent and was about to grab one when I saw the Cayin C5.  Now I'm on the fence :).     I suppose you like the A5 with the T50s?  I found when using the A3 the soundstage seemed to be a bit squished and muddled.  I don't think its the C3, - just using the colorfly C3...

Any Advice on a portable amp to drive Fostex TP50RP MK3 with Colorfly C3?     I basically picked up the colorfly to listen to these away from my PC, but my FIIO A3 can't drive the fostex properly, not enough juice.    Any one have any advice on an amp that pairs well with the colorfly that...

  Wooooo!  The noise was so loud it was causing me to flinch on some tracks at high volume lol, was driving me nuts.  I stripped the metadata and its silent as a whisper.     Thanks so much :) 

Hi, I just got a colorfly c3.  So far really enjoying it, but I have the click/pop between tracks issue and wasn't keen on reading through all 200 pages of posts to see if there was a fix.   Has anyone found a fix for this or is it something we have to deal with - maybe the price to pay for such...

Perhaps I did end up getting counterfeits, I thought gearbest and tinydeal were authorized dealers so did not worry too much, and seemed to be legit from comparing them to online.     I thought maybe it was because I use them every day for bus commute to work, and they get banged around fairly...

  Yeah - for sure I have no doubt they would be great upgrade over my current portables (Panasonic RP-TCM 125) and from everything I've read these sound solid and there aren't many reports on them giving up the ghost that I can find.   I think my experience with pistons has just made me a...

I have same concern here, I bought 2 xiaomi pistons (one from gearbest another from tinydeals) last year - both seemed identical, had valid qr codes and matched everything I saw online so I don't suspect they were counterfeit, Both ended up having one side stop working after a few months use -...
