Rockbox Xduoo X3
This is probably irrelevant, but worth to try. Have you tried using a different sdcard on the X3?- watchmania

I'm sort of expecting a different answer. But now I really have to checkout an X3ii :confounded:- watchmania

Rockbox Xduoo X3
Nice one! Have you tried clipping it on your shirt? Is it too bulky for it? The thing is, clipping on my shirt is the best way for me to get rid of any cables that may tangles.. also the most comfortable way using it while moving around. Colorfly C3 is 100g and I thought it would be too heavy...- watchmania

Colorfly C3 Discussion Thread
Thank you for the research, it does seems that a perfect lipo replacement for Colorfly C3 would be a 1000mah 434350 3.7v lipo. https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/10249635.xlsx But looking for a fresh lipo battery in my country is a pain, except for some common sizes. So I agree that getting a regular...- watchmania

Not sure about that, but from one of his photos I can see the frustation was a real one.- watchmania

Well I don't a Retina MBP but that's how it sounded on my Late 2012 Mac Mini and Macbook Pro I bought in 2013. Bass are uncontrolled and bloated for sure, and details are poor, that why I never bother listening with them anymore. Comparison using Vsonic GR07BE, GR06, SoundMagic E10, Sennheiser...- watchmania

Really, it doesn't have any difference compared to the bloated and uncontrollable bass, robotic sound coming from a Macbook Pro?- watchmania

Colorfly C3 Discussion Thread
Well C3 sounds very flat and "correct". Almost the same signature out of my DACMagic. I assume the Westone sounds very flat? If you want coloring, get V colored IEMs such as VSonic or as suggested, get an amp to do so. I myself found that it drives GR07BE pretty well on moderate volumes but out...- watchmania

Colorfly C3 Discussion Thread
Yeah the power issue is just a guess anyway. I really wanted to put the capacitor hack but couldn't afford losing the one and only C3 I had lol- watchmania

Well it is sporadic in my Evo 128GB. Once every 5, 10 minutes, short ones, 2 seconds-ones, 3 seconds-ones. Yet no such issue at all with both Evo 64GB I owned. I don't think seek reading a memory card will require more power, though. It may not like spinning a disc faster or something like that...- watchmania

Colorfly C3 Discussion Thread
As my guess is power issue, probably undervoltage or undercurrent due to the demands of some microSD cards, I am always thinking whether soldering a capacitor on the microSD slot power pins would cure the issue. Apparently we have something here: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=58643.0- watchmania

Colorfly C3 Discussion Thread
I think at this point you better stick to any well-tested microSD cards discussed in the thread. Get an Evo 64GB and you'll be fine. Audio quality will always be the same but that buffer underrun stutter is what messed it.- watchmania

Colorfly C3 Discussion Thread
False hope. What a dissapointment You're getting buffer underrun on a 32GB microSD card??? In that case I'm pretty sure this is some kind of power-related issue. Switch to Evo 64GB and I'm sure the issue will go away. It's just that we haven't tried any "working" 128GB yet. If...- watchmania

Custom version 1.4??? Where di you get that? Firmware alone could possibly fix the problem, really. I'm excited now- watchmania
